I am producing a pdf with bookdown. I want to create a landscape page for a wide table. When I do this I am getting some odd added text either side of my table: “‘=latex.
---
title: "PAV results"
header-includes: \usepackage{pdflscape}
date: "2023-06-19"
output:
bookdown::pdf_document2:
number_sections: no
latex_engine: xelatex
toc: no
---
```{r setup2, include=FALSE}
library(knitr)
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE, warning = F, message = F)
library(dplyr)
library(flextable)
library(ftExtra)
```
Intro text
\begin{landscape}
```{r anthro, eval= T}
flextable(anthrotab)%>%autofit()%>%theme_booktabs(bold_header = T)%>%
set_caption(as_paragraph("My table"))%>%
align(align = "left", part = "body")%>%
colformat_md()%>%
add_footer_lines(as_paragraph("Abbreviations:"))
```
\end{landscape}
text
This is how it appears in my pdf:
This appears to be an issue with flextable.
This is another attempt using kable and including the flextable table on a portrait page:
Intro text
\begin{landscape}
```{r kable}
kbl(anthrotab)
```
\end{landscape}
text
```{r anthro, eval= T}
flextable(anthrotab)%>%autofit()%>%theme_booktabs(bold_header = T)%>%
set_caption(as_paragraph("My table"))%>%
align(align = "left", part = "body")%>%
colformat_md()%>%
add_footer_lines(as_paragraph("Abbreviations:"))
```
which produces this
