LyX ⇒ How to set in bold the first line of a table knitr ?

[Hive]

Hello everyone

I would like to set the first line of my tables in bold, like this little example :


Pretty easy with lyx but I didn't find any solution to do it in knitr/Lyx, except this post which explains how to bold the row names but not the entire line.

I'm sure it's just a single option to give to xtable but I don't get it. Any help will be appreciated.

In your 'm' object (which you might need to change to a data.frame and store strings in it), add the

Code: Select all

\textbf{}

yourself to the individual elements that you want bolded (in this case the first row), (perhaps using gsub()?). Then in print.xtable you'll need to modify the sanitize function so that it doesn't escape your backslash.

After modifying row values in the form "\\textbf{value}", and setting print.xtable option "sanitize.text.function=identity", it greatly works.

Many thanks for your help !

I'll see if the option "add.to.row" can also do the job. I'll notice you if I find something useful.
