Overview

About

Maintained by Vignesh ThanikachalamCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Render clinical submission tables, listings, and figures to 'RTF', 'LaTeX', 'Typst', 'HTML', 'PDF', and 'DOCX' from pre-summarised data frames, with no external 'Java' or 'SAS' dependency. Features include decimal alignment via font metrics, multi-level column headers with passthrough leaves, predicate-targeted cell styling, footnotes, group-aware pagination, and figures that wrap a plot or image in the same page chrome as a table. Built for Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) Analysis Data Model (ADaM) workflows and regulatory submissions to agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA), and Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA).

Changes in 0.3.2

Minor improvements and bug fixes

A check_latex() unit test that verifies TinyTeX resolution off the PATH now carries skip_on_cran(), so it no longer errors on CRAN machines that expose a TinyTeX root without a functional TeX at it (the CRAN macOS arm64 check). Package code is unchanged.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("tabular", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("vthanik/tabular")

Development version from vthanik/tabular. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-tabular

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-tabular

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-tabular

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
