Thank you for helping to improve apaTables.

Reporting a problem or suggesting a change

Please open an issue. A problem is easiest to fix when the issue includes:

  • a short piece of R code that shows it, ideally using a data set that comes with R or apaTables (attitude, mtcars, goggles, viagra), so that it can be run as it is;
  • what you expected to see, and what you saw instead (a screenshot helps for anything about how a table looks in a Word, PDF or HTML file);
  • the output of sessionInfo(), run after library(apaTables), which lists your R version, your apaTables version and the other packages loaded.

If the table is in a Quarto document, please also give:

  • your Quarto version: type quarto --version in a terminal (in Positron, the Terminal tab – not the R console). If that says the command is not found, give your Positron version instead, from About Positron;
  • the document’s format: line (for example apaquarto-pdf);
  • the version: line of _extensions/wjschne/apaquarto/_extension.yml, in the folder that holds your document.

Suggestions for new tables or options are welcome as issues too.
