I like using flextable
for tables when knitting to word.
In this table I want to put superscripts in the footnote. For pdf outputs I use kableExtra
and put the relevant text for the foot note as bookdown
style reference (also helpful if I want to include a citation to bibliography in the footnote). I've tried something similar with flextable
but doesn't work.
Code chunk attempts:
{r tab1}
flextable::flextable(iris)%>%
add_footer_lines("My footnotes with ^supercript^ text")
This doesn't work so tried
(ref:footnote) My footnotes with ^supercript^ text with reference @paper2023
{r tab1}
flextable::flextable(iris)%>%
add_footer_lines('ref:footnote')
How can I produce a table in a word document, with superscripts and citations in a footnote? Happy to consider other packages than flextable
There is no support for pandoc citations (flextable does not use pandoc).

title: "Untitled"
output: word_document

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
```
```{r}
library(flextable)
ft <- qflextable(head(iris)) |>
add_footer_lines(
as_paragraph(
"My footnotes with ",
as_sup("supercript"),
" text"
)
)
ft
