cells_source_notes() is used to target all source notes in the
footer section of the table. This is useful for adding custom styles to the
source notes with tab_style() (using the locations argument). The
'source_notes' location is generated by the tab_source_note() function.
This location helper function cannot be used for the locations argument of
tab_footnote() and doing so will result in a warning (with no change made
to the table).
Examples
Let's use a subset of the gtcars dataset to create a gt table. Add a
source note (with tab_source_note()) and style the source notes section
inside the tab_style() call by using the cells_source_notes() helper
function for the targeting via the locations argument.
gtcars |>
dplyr::select(mfr, model, msrp) |>
dplyr::slice(1:5) |>
gt() |>
tab_source_note(source_note = "From edmunds.com") |>
tab_style(
style = cell_text(
color = "#A9A9A9",
size = "small"
),
locations = cells_source_notes()
)
