Does anyone know If you can force kableExtra to save a .tex file as UTF-8 instead of ANSI? Since I have the Swedish letter å, ä, ö in my table, converting my tex-file to pdf won't work unless it is in utf-8 format. If I open up my tex-file and resave it as UTF-8, it works but is not really a solution for me.
I'm not sure it's kableExtra that is the problem. It might also be something with this Rstuido installation that is the problem (recently installed R / Rstudio on a new computer).
This is the command I use to save my table:
kableExtra::save_kable(table, file = "C:/PATH/table.tex")
Heres my sessionInfo:
R version 4.1.2 (2021-11-01)
Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)
Running under: Windows 10 x64 (build 22000)
Matrix products: default
locale:
[1] LC_COLLATE=Swedish_Sweden.1252 LC_CTYPE=Swedish_Sweden.1252
[3] LC_MONETARY=Swedish_Sweden.1252 LC_NUMERIC=C
[5] LC_TIME=Swedish_Sweden.1252
Let me know if you need any more info!
EDIT: Here's a small reprex:
library(kableExtra)
library(tidyverse)
test <- lm(mpg ~ cyl + wt, mtcars) %>% tidy() %>%
kbl(format = "latex") %>%
footnote(number = c("Testa å ä ö"))
save_kable(test, file = "plain.tex")
So the plain.tex is ansi, but I want UTF-8.
