NEWS for the htmlTable package

Changes for 2.5.0

• Added highlightRow() for matching-based row highlighting with preset, color, and raw CSS styles.
• Documentation cleanup for core table helpers and a compatibility test that locks the exported API surface.

Changes for 2.4.3

• Minor test improvement (PR #89)

Changes for 2.4.2

• Updated JQuery dependency in interactiveTable to 3.7.1
• Dropped reshape in favor of pivot_wider (issue #88)

Changes for 2.4.1

• Updated JQuery dependency in interactiveTable (issue #85)

Changes for 2.4.0

• The txtRound.data.frame converted all data to a matrix before rounding all elements. Changed to only convert numeric variables and also added tidy-select syntax. The function now returns the entire input data.frame with rounded elements as requested.
• The txtMergeLines now returns an knitr::asis_output if html mode is activated. Fixed also multiline strings conversion into latex/html format.
• Added vignette for the text formatting functions.

Changes for 2.3.0

• Added rnames_unique parameter to tidyHtmlTable so that rows can have non-unique names

Changes for 2.2.1

• The txtInt handles NA more gracefully.

Changes fro 2.2.0

• Added htmlTable_args attribute for making modifications to the final table easier

Changes fro 2.1.0

• Added options for how the empty spacer cell appears (see addHtmlTableStyle() spacer.* options)
• Fixed ignored align.header
• Fix for wrapped styles (issue #80)

Changes for 2.0.1

• Fix for txtRound not handling negative numbers (issue #76)
• Fix bug for hidden.rgroup & hidden_tspanner in tidyHtmlTable
• Documentation improvements & switched to markdown docs

Changes for 2.0.0

• Added theming and styling with addHtmlTableStyle and setHtmlTableTheme to reduce the cognitive burden of finding the right option within the docs. Note: this may impact your current tables and hence the major version (2.0.0).
• Changed so that css.cell is properly applied to rownames, cell fillers and the actual cells of interest (may impact the final layout!)
• Breaking change tidyHtmlTable: Moved to a fully tidyverse compatible system with tidyHtmlTable. This is a breaking change to the API as we switch from columns as strings to tidyselect syntax and as gather/spread have been replaced by pivot_longer/pivot_wider the default values have been updated in accordance with their defaults, e.g. rnames = "name" and value = "value".
• Breaking change tidyHtmlTable: Sorting of rows is skipped as we may have situations with repeating inputs and this can easily be performed pre-function by calling dplyr::arrange. This has furthermore the desirable feature that any custom sorting is retained.
• Added mso-number-format to help (Issue #63) - thanks Rasmus Hertzum
• txtRound can now add txtInt when formatting the integer section for easier readability

• Added attr(x, "html") <- TRUE by default and UTF-8 encoding on all outputted strings to mimic the htmltools::HTML function behavior.
• For simple tibble output the tidyHtmlTable can now be used to choose a column for the rnames argument
• The print statement now respects the chunk_output_type in Rmd files in RStudio
• tidyHtmlTable now accepts table function that allows switching to other table functions
