Span an apsrtable table across two columns

How do I get apsrtable table to generate a multi-column table from an R data.frame that spans two columns, i.e.

\begin{table*}
...
\end{table*}

instead of

\begin{table}
...
\end{table}

As it is, I have to manually edit that part every time I regenerate the Rnw file, otherwise my wide tables don't fit inside a single column (they overlap with text).

I didn't find any such option in the package's help page.

Solution

  • Use the float argument to manually specify the environment:

    apsrtable(..., float='table*')
