Which is the best R package to display a long or/and large table splitting across multiple pages in a Quarto Website ?

[alcor]

Hi everyone,

Do you know which is the best way to split tables like this long one into multiple pages in a quarto Website (answer for large tables matters also) ?

By the way, I volontarily deleted rows 51 to 1200 included.

You'll probably want to make use of DT::datatable() which will provide users with an interactive table that they can "page" through. The default number of rows per page would be 10, but you can set a larger number if you want to.

Thanks for help pcall

DT::datatable is truly convenient to get all table rows splitted into multiple pages.
But I don't see how I can get table header, footnotes and source notes like the ones got with gt package.

DT is an interface to the JavaScript library DataTables, meaning that if you know JavaScript you can basically customize everything. For example, see section 4.3. about Callbacks in Options discussed in the DT documentation.

I am not sure what you mean with footnotes because your example doesn't show any footnotes but the links in your column lien you can certainly also have in a DT::datatable (since it's HTML/JS, you can just format them using an a tag).
