Formatos de súperindices con la librería GT

[Paula.A]

Dear community.

I need your help, I need to know if there is any way to assign the order to the different superscripts,
I will tell you my situation I have a superscript in the spanner which is the number (1) and in one of the columns before the spanner I have the superscript (2), so GT assigns it to me by default.

What I want is to know how to manipulate my tab_footnote so that it looks like this:
Superscript (1) in column 1 and superscript 2 in the spanner.

I will appreciate your contributions since I don't know what to do anymore, please.

Greetings.

Estimada comunidad.

Necesito de su ayuda, necesito saber si hay alguna forma de asignarle el orden a los superíndices diferentes,
les cuento mi situación tengo un superíndice en el spanner el cual es el número (1) y en una de las columnas antes del spanner tengo el superíndice (2), así me lo asigna GT por default.

Lo que quiero es saber manipular mis tab_footnote para que quede se la siguiente manera:
El superíndice (1) en la columna 1 y el superíndice 2 en el spanner.

Les agradeceré sus aportes dado que ya no se que hacer, por favor.

Saludos.

Hi @Paula.A
Welcome to the Posit/RStudio Community Forum.

If I understand your request correctly, you want to control the order in which your footnotes are labelled as superscripts. Try this:

library(gt)
library(tidyverse)
# Get small dataframe for illustration
mtcars %>% 
  rownames_to_column("Car_model") %>%
  select(1:4) %>% 
  slice_head(n=6) -> df

gt_tbl <- gt(df)

gt_tbl %>% 
  tab_spanner(label = "Specifications",
              columns = 2:4,
              id = "specs") %>% 
  tab_footnote(footnote = "Engine displacement",
               locations = cells_column_labels(columns = disp)) %>% 
  tab_footnote(footnote = "Various engine and performance data",
               locations = cells_column_spanners(spanners = "specs")) %>% 
  tab_options(footnotes.marks=c('2','1'))

I can't post the output because the gt tables don't render accurately.

Hello, thank you very much, it really helped me with my problem.

Nice afternoon.

Hello @DavoWW, one last question. Do you know if it could be formatted so that the superscripts do not appear italic, please?

[DavoWW]

You can achieve this with the following formatting command which you add to the end of the existing code:

...... %>%
 opt_footnote_spec(spec_ref = "^x", spec_ftr = "^x")

All these options, and many more, are detailed here:
