It seems like this question has been asked in multiple places and has been answered, but it does not work for me. I would like to alternate color of kable. Color alternation works but shading is only of very light color. I would like to make it darker. Here is my example:
```{r test}
library(kableExtra)
my_df <- data.frame("col_1" = c(1,2,3), "col_2" = c(1,2,3))
knitr::kable(my_df)%>%
kable_styling("striped", stripe_color="red")
```
Here is output:
The help for kable_styling indicates stripe_color works only with latex output:
stripe_color LaTeX option allowing users to pick a different color for their strip lines. This option is not available in HTML.
One way to get alternating color backgrounds with html output is with row_spec (though there may be better ways):
library(kableExtra)
my_df <- data.frame("col_1" = c(1,2,3), "col_2" = c(1,2,3))
kable(my_df)%>%
row_spec(seq(1,nrow(my_df),2), background="red")
Here's the output with a lighter background color and bootstrap styling for nicer-looking output:
kable(my_df)%>%
row_spec(seq(1,nrow(my_df),2), background="#FF000020") %>%
kable_styling(full_width=FALSE)
