R Markdown table 带有 kable 和 longtable 的标题宽度

R Markdown table caption width with kable and longtable

使用R Markdown 输出pdf。 kable() 效果很好,但是当我添加 longtable=T 时,标题不再扩展 table 的整个宽度。我似乎无法在此处找到控制字幕详细信息的参数。我可以移动标题以输出每个代码块,但如果可能的话,我宁愿使用 kable 中的内置功能。

谢谢!

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE)
library(kableExtra)
library(knitr)
library(dplyr)
```

```{r table1}
test <- data.frame(col1=rep("MyLongWordsareLong",5),
               col2=rep("MyLongWordsareLong",5),
               col3=rep("MyLongWordsareLong",5),
               col4=rep("MyLongWordsareLong",5),
               col5=rep("MyLongWordsareLong",5),
               col6=rep("MyLongWordsareLong",5))

kable(test,format='latex',booktabs=TRUE,
caption="This is my example caption. See how, when I don't use 
longtable, it extends the full width of the table, but when I use the 
longtable option, it compresses down to only a portion of the table's wdith. 
Is this weird or is it just me?") %>% 
 landscape()

kable(test,longtable=TRUE,format='latex',booktabs=TRUE,caption="This is my 
example caption. See how, when I don't use longtable, it extends the full

这可能是 longtable 包中的 LaTeX 问题。该页面提出了一种解决方法:https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/287283/how-to-define-caption-width-in-longtable。就放

header-includes:
   - \usepackage{caption}

在您的 YAML header 中,一切都会按照您的预期进行。您还可以添加 LaTeX 代码

\captionsetup{width=5in}

(或使用其他一些度量,例如 5cm\textwidth\textheight 等)以获得其他尺寸的一致标题宽度。

编辑添加:

这是原始示例,已按建议修改(加上更多清理):

```{r setup, include=FALSE}

Add `\captionsetup{width=5in}` on its own line here for smaller captions. 

```{r table1}
test <- data.frame(col1=rep("MyLongWordsareLong",5),
               col2=rep("MyLongWordsareLong",5),
               col3=rep("MyLongWordsareLong",5),
               col4=rep("MyLongWordsareLong",5),
               col5=rep("MyLongWordsareLong",5),
               col6=rep("MyLongWordsareLong",5))

kable(test,format='latex',booktabs=TRUE,
caption="This is my example caption. See how, when I don't use 
longtable, it extends the full width of the table, but when I use the 
longtable option, it compresses down to only a portion of the table's wdith. 
Is this weird or is it just me?") %>% 
 landscape()

kable(test,longtable=TRUE,format='latex',booktabs=TRUE,caption="This is my 
example caption. See how, when I don't use longtable, it extends the full 
width of the table, but when I use the longtable option, it compresses down 
to only a portion of the table's wdith. Is this weird or is it just me?") %>% 
landscape()
```

这是它生成的两个表:
