Literal curly brackets in gtsummary

How can I obtain literal curly brackets in tbl_summary?

Here is what I tried:

> gtsummary::tbl_summary(mtcars,statistic = all_continuous() ~ "\\makecell{{{mean}}}")
Error in `gtsummary::tbl_summary()`:
! Problem with the `statistic` argument.
Error converting string "{{mean" to a function.
ℹ Is the name spelled correctly and available?
Run `rlang::last_trace()` to see where the error occurred.
Solution

  • At last it was implemented in this PR.

    Here is the result of the previous code:

    gtsummary::tbl_summary(mtcars,
                       statistic = gtsummary::all_continuous() ~ "\\makecell{{{mean}}}")
