Flextable in .pdf markdown files

[Conal Monaghan]

Hi everyone, 

           I am trying to knit to .pdf using rMarkdown. When knitting flextables (FlexTable {ReporteRs} object), which is the output style from apaStyle package's apatable() function, the .pdf writes each number from the table on seperate pages without the table. Rendering the table in rStudio or using .html works perfectly, it just seems to be an issue using Word and .pdf rendering. For example, when running the code below rendering in .pdf. 

Thanks for all of your help in advance, 

             Conal

As far as I know, this is not possible, because ReporteRs does not support LaTeX.

Fortunately, there are some very powerful packages for supporting tables in LaTeX such as the tables package, but you will probably need to learn some LaTeX to do all the other stuff you might want to do.
