make_latex_tables(
  data,
  file,
  caption = "",
  label = "",
  multi_column = NULL,
  footnote = "",
  sideways = FALSE,
  longtable = FALSE
)

Arguments

data: A data.frame or a list of data.frames. If a data.frame, the table is created with the values in that data.frame. If a list of data.frames, the table gets one panel for each data.frame. If the list is named, will use the names to create panel labels.
file: A string with the name of the file to save the .tex as.
caption: (Optional) A string with the caption for the table (i.e. the table title).
label: (Optional) A string with the reference for the table - to be used when referencing the table in the text. If NULL,
multi_column: (Optional) A named vector with the names being the names of the multi-column and the values being the width of the multi-column.
footnote: (Optional) A string with text for the footnote of the table.
sideways: (Optional) If TRUE, will make a sideways table (useful for large tables), otherwise (default) will make a normal table.
longtable: (Optional) If TRUE, will make a longtable table (useful for long tables), otherwise (default) will make a normal table.

Value

Nothing. It will create a .tex file in the current working directory.
