I would like to block the first row AND the first column in a Kable or flextable table on a Rmardown file for html. The subject has already been discussed on SO but there is no answer. I don't want to use the DT package.
Maybe there would be a way to adapt the scroll_box function (kableExtra package)? Or to modify the concerned cells? I don't have HTML skills to do this.
Thank you in advance for your help!
The creator of the flextable package added this option for html reports.
This does not exist on the kableEtra package or any other package as far as I know.
library(flextable)
dat <- lapply(1:30, function(x) rnorm(n = 50)) %>%
setNames(paste0("colname", 1:30)) %>%
as.data.frame()
ft_1 <- flextable(dat)
ft_1 <- set_table_properties(ft_1,
opts_html = list(
extra_css = ".tabwid tbody tr > :first-child {position: sticky;z-index: 1;left: 0;background: #ddd;}",
scroll = list(height="500px")))
ft_1
