R: Generate a table header or footer from column names

tableHeader {DT} | R Documentation

## Generate a table header or footer from column names

### Description

Convenience functions to generate a table header (<thead></thead>) or footer (<tfoot></tfoot>) given the column names. They are basically wrappers of `htmltools::tags$th` applied to the column names.

### Usage

    tableHeader(names, escape = TRUE)

    tableFooter(names, escape = TRUE)

### Arguments

`names` | a character vector of the column names of the table (if it is an object with column names, its column names will be used instead)
`escape` | whether to escape the names (see `datatable`)

### Value

A tag object generated by `htmltools::tags`.

### Examples

    library(DT)
    tableHeader(iris)  # or equivalently,
    tableHeader(colnames(iris))
    tableFooter(iris)  # footer

    library(htmltools)
    tags$table(tableHeader(iris), tableFooter(iris))
