Export `gt` table to LaTeX with colors

I cannot see how to add the color of the cells when I export a gt table to LaTeX.

gt::exibble |>
  dplyr::select(num) |>
  gt::gt() |>
  gt::tab_style(
    style = gt::cell_fill(color = "lightcyan"),
    locations = gt::cells_body(
      columns = num,
      rows = num >= 5000
    )
  ) |>
  gt::as_latex() |>
  as.character()

The previous table should have some light blue cells, which are perfectly visible using the HTML rendering.

However, there is no color on the output LaTeX code:

\\begin{longtable}{r}\n\\toprule\nnum \\\\ \n\\midrule\n1.111e-01 \\\\ \n2.222e+00 \\\\ \n3.333e+01 \\\\ \n4.444e+02 \\\\ \n5.550e+03 \\\\ \nNA \\\\ \n7.770e+05 \\\\ \n8.880e+06 \\\\ \n\\bottomrule\n\\end{longtable}\n

Does this mean that gt still do not support colors in this situation, or my implementation is wrong?

Solution

  • This was fixed as described in this discussion.

    The output LaTeX code now includes cell background colors:

    \\begin{table}[!t]\n\\fontsize{12.0pt}{14.4pt}\\selectfont\n\\begin{tabular*}{\\linewidth}{@{\\extracolsep{\\fill}}r}\n\\toprule\nnum \\\\ \n\\midrule\\addlinespace[2.5pt]\n1.111e-01 \\\\ \n2.222e+00 \\\\ \n3.333e+01 \\\\ \n4.444e+02 \\\\ \n{\\cellcolor[HTML]{E0FFFF}{5.550e+03}} \\\\ \nNA \\\\ \n{\\cellcolor[HTML]{E0FFFF}{7.770e+05}} \\\\ \n{\\cellcolor[HTML]{E0FFFF}{8.880e+06}} \\\\ \n\\bottomrule\n\\end{tabular*}\n\\end{table}\n

    Result:

    colored cells
