I'm trying to build a PDF of the book at https://github.com/proback/BeyondMLR.
The .Rmd all seems to compile nicely, and bookdown spits out a knitted document. Tables (like below) with an add_footnote() step cause bookdown to throw an error.
Here's the R code chunk in the Rmd document:
Subject <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6)
`X (0 = home, 1 = work)` <- c(0,1,1,1,0,0)
`Y (number of cigarettes)` <- c(3,0,0,1,2,1)
ex3chp4 <- data.frame(Subject, `X (0 = home, 1 = work)`,
`Y (number of cigarettes)`)
kable(ex3chp4, booktabs=T,
caption="A small subset of hypothetical data on Minnesota workplace rules on smoking.",
col.names = c("Subject", "X (location)", "Y (cigarettes)")) %>%
kable_styling(full_width = F) %>%
add_footnote(c("X is 0 for home and 1 for work.", "Y is number of cigaretttes in a 2-hour period."), notation = "none")
With add_footnote() in, I get the following:
! Misplaced \omit.
\multispan ->\omit
\@multispan
l.2035 ...cript{} X is 0 for home and 1 for work.}
\\
I've commented out the add_footnote() in a previous table, and no error thrown.
If I run the R code above directly in the console, I get the following:
\begin{table}
\caption{A small subset of hypothetical data on Minnesota workplace rules on smoking.}
\centering
\begin{tabular}[t]{rrr}
\toprule{}
Subject & X (location) & Y (cigarettes)\\
\midrule{}
1 & 0 & 3\\
2 & 1 & 0\\
3 & 1 & 0\\
4 & 1 & 1\\
5 & 0 & 2\\
\addlinespace
6 & 0 & 1\\
\bottomrule{}
\multicolumn{3}{l}{\textsuperscript{} X is 0 for home and 1 for work.}\\
\multicolumn{3}{l}{\textsuperscript{} Y is number of cigaretttes in a 2-hour period.}\\
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
That looks like decent LaTeX output to me…
