Right-align the cells of a column to a common width

A minimal cell-format function (see The contract in the vignette / as_rtftables()): every non-empty cell is right-justified to the width of the widest cell, padding on the left with non-breaking spaces. Empty cells are left empty. This is the simplest useful formatter and a good template for writing your own.

Usage

fmt_right_align(x, nbsp = " ", na = "")

Arguments

x

Character vector (one table column).

nbsp

Padding character; defaults to the non-breaking space (U+00A0) so RTF / Word keep the alignment. Pass " " for plain text.

na

Text to print for a missing value (NA, and NaN – R counts it as missing). The default "" leaves the cell empty, as before. A non-empty token is right-justified with the other cells, so its right edge lines up with theirs. Inf / -Inf are not missing and print as "Inf" / "-Inf". See the na argument of as_rtftables().

Value

Character vector the same length as x.

Examples

fmt_right_align(c("5", "120", "7"))
#> [1] "  5" "120" "  7"
