Converting R data.frames to pdf for better placement control in latex draft: true pdf report
1 Introduction
As a longtime rmarkdown user, I have often been frustrated by the lack of control over the placement of tables in the pdf output.
I recently came across a stackoverflow post that expressed the same frustration.
“I have read what feels like 100 articles and threads on the topic and tried so many things I have lost count of it all but am still stuck. I have managed to make some minor improvements but still not all tables and plots are being placed where I am intending them to be.”
