officedown | officer features into R markdown documents

How can I insert two images side by side into a word document (.docx) with captions?

I found several solutions for HTML and pdf documents. However, for word documents, this doesn't seem to be the case.

This is my YAML:

I want to add a colored dot in a new column based on the value of another column.

I have:

Using code below, I'm able to generate a ppt report for subset of mtcars dataset:

My prior understanding was that the ability to utilize Microsoft Word Table styles is only available in the officedown package, but syntax like

I feel like I am missing something easy. Fingers crossed thats it.

Im trying to produce tables using gtsummary and flextable in officedown. I'm using the yaml options from the "Advanced word document" template in officedown.

Below is my code. The first 2 tables have the captions underneath and the third is on top, as it should be!

I'm using the officedown package to generate a Word document. May I ask, if I want to import a well-designed figure from the disk, how to control officedown not to change the height/width ratio of the figure?

For example, my original figure looks like this:

However, in the Word document generated by officedown, it looks like this:

May I ask, how to avoid the distortion in officedown? And how to make the width of the figure take the whole line?

My question can be reproduced by the following code:

Running R4.1.2 and Windows 10:

I'm trying to knit a document that has a flextable with a ggplot image that was created via ggsave. When I run the code chunk in RMarkdown, it works fine, but when I attempt to knit a word document, I get the following error. If I don't include the image, knitr works fine.

I want to create a .docx report with {officedown}, but instead of using "bookmark" reference types for cross-referencing my tables and figures as suggested in ch.4.6 and ch.4.7 of the User Documentation, I would like my references to be actual "Figure" and "Table" reference types in the resulting .docx. As discussed in this stackoverflow post, this would require {SEQ Figure \\* arabic} and {SEQ Table \\* arabic} word fields and the answers show how to implement this via officer::slip_in_seqfield() or crosstable::body_add_table_legend().

However, I think, these approaches to obtain actual "Figure" and "Table" reference types only work for the {officer} syntax and not the {officedown} syntax. To be clear, so far I understood

• {officer} syntax as an R-script that makes use of a dplyr chain that starts with read_docx() %>% [example]
• {officedown} syntax as an Rmd-script that makes use of block_caption() and run_autonum() within a chunk [example]

^{(please correct me if I am wrong)}

Therefore, I would like to know whether there is a way to modify the suggested approach in {officedown} in order to obtain actual "Figure" and "Table" reference types that I can also cross-reference in the text. Below is an example using the standard suggested approach:

I'm using officedown with Rmarkdown to knit word docs and currently it's not reading level 4 and 5 headers in the Table of Contents (though it's correctly adding headers levels 1-3). My YAML is:
