Description

Google slides is a widely available productivity tool used by many institutions but is not well integrated with existing R ecosystem workflows such as Rmarkdown, which has made its use incompatible with reproducible research and reporting. ladder is an R package for inserting tables into Slides presentations and supports multiple table formats from R.

In particular it supports flextable objects, so can produce very nicely formatted tables, including headers and footers, merged cells, styled text, borders and highlighting.

It can be used interactively to dynamically insert/replace tables in a presentation or as part of a script for reproducible reporting.
