Location helper for targeting the table title and subtitle

cells_title() is used to target the table title or subtitle when applying a footnote with tab_footnote() or adding custom style with tab_style(). The function is expressly used in each of those functions' locations argument. The header location where the title and optionally the subtitle reside is generated by the tab_header() function.

Usage

cells_title(groups = c("title", "subtitle"))

Arguments

groups

Specification of groups

mult-kw:[title|subtitle] // default: c("title", "subtitle")

We can either specify "title", "subtitle", or both (the default) in a vector to target the title element, the subtitle element, or both elements.

Value

A list object of classes cells_title and location_cells.

Examples

Use a subset of the sp500 dataset to create a small gt table. Add a header with a title, and then add a footnote to the title with tab_footnote() and cells_title() (in locations).

sp500 |>
  dplyr::filter(date >= "2015-01-05" & date <= "2015-01-10") |>
  dplyr::select(-c(adj_close, volume, high, low)) |>
  gt() |>
  tab_header(title = "S&P 500") |>
  tab_footnote(
    footnote = "All values in USD.",
    locations = cells_title(groups = "title")
  )
