I am trying to create a table and knit to PDF with an rmarkdown file:
---
title: "Untitled"
author: "L"
date: "2025-03-13"
output: pdf_document
---
```{r}
set.seed(84)
dt <- data.frame(month = rep(c(1:12), 10),
value = sample(c("A", "B", "C"), 120, replace = TRUE))
addmargins(round(prop.table(table(dt$value, dt$month), 1)*100,2))
the knitted pdf file looks like this:
I do not like that the columns of the table are not on a single row;
I have tried many different options, like adding \tiny
before creating the table, or by changing the font or the margins; however, I was not able to get the table on one row only, as the table was split even if a lot of space was left on the other side:
How can I force the table to be in one row only and not be split (even if this breaks the page or margins)?
Set width
in options()
. We can use the 'setup'
code chunk right after the YAML for this.

title: "Untitled"
author: "L"
date: "2025-03-13"
output: html_document

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
options(width=100)
```
```{r}
set.seed(84)
dt = data.frame(month = rep(c(1:12), 10),
value = sample(c('A', 'B', 'C'), 120, replace=TRUE))
addmargins(round(prop.table(table(dt$value, dt$month), 1) * 100, 2))
```
