## S3 method for class 'summarytools'
print(x, method = "pander", file = "",
   append = FALSE, report.title = NA, table.classes = NA,
   bootstrap.css = st_options('bootstrap.css'),
   custom.css = st_options('custom.css'), silent = FALSE,
   footnote = st_options('footnote'), max.tbl.height = Inf,
   collapse = 0, escape.pipe = st_options("escape.pipe"), ...)

Arguments

x: A summarytools object, created by one of the four core functions (freq, descr, ctable, or dfSummary).
method: Character. One of pander , viewer , browser , or render . Default value for the print()

method is pander ; for view()/stview(), default is viewer if session is running in RStudio, browser

otherwise. The main use for render is in R Markdown

documents.
file: Character. File name to write output to. Defaults to .
append: Logical. Append output to existing file (specified using the file argument). FALSE by default.
report.title: Character. For html reports, this goes into the <title> tag. When left to NA (default), the first line of the heading section is used (e.g.: Data Frame Summary ).
table.classes: Character. Additional html classes to assign to output tables. Bootstrap css classes can be used. User-defined classes (see the custom.css argument) are also specified here. See details section. NA by default.
bootstrap.css: Logical. When generating an html document, include the includes/stylesheets/bootstrap.min.css" file content inside a <style type="text/css"> tag in the document's <head>. TRUE by default. Can be set globally with st_options.
custom.css: Character. Path to a custom .css file. Classes defined in this must also appear in the table.classes parameter in order to be applied to the table(s). Can be set globally with st_options. NA by default.
silent: Logical. Set to TRUE to hide console messages (e.g.: ignored variables or NaN to NA

transformations). FALSE by default.
footnote: Character. Text to display just after html output tables. The default value (default ) produces a two-line footnote indicating the package's name and version, the R version, and the current date. Has no effect on ascii or markdown

content. Can contain standard html tags. Set to NA to omit. Can be set globally with st_options.
max.tbl.height: Numeric. Maximum table height in pixels allowed in rendered dfSummary() tables. When this argument is used, results will show up in a <div> with the specified height and a scroll bar. Intended to be used in Rmd documents with method = "render". Inf by default.
collapse: Numeric. 0 by default. Set to 1 to make freq() sections collapsible (when clicking on the variable name). Future versions might provide alternate collapsing options.
escape.pipe: Logical. Set to TRUE when style="grid"

and file argument is supplied if the intent is to generate a text file that can be converted to other formats using Pandoc. Can be set globally with st_options.
...: Additional arguments used to override attributes stored in the object, or to change formatting via format or pander. See Details.

Returns

NULL when method="pander"; A file path returned invisibly when method="viewer" or "browser". In the latter case, the file path is also passed to shell.exec

(Windows) or system (*nix), causing the document to be opened in default Web browser.
