Repeated zeros truncated in added header row

[ddsjoberg]

Hello!

I add a header row with the insert_row() function. When the header has repeated zeros, some are removed. In the example below, the header should read "**N = 1,000**", but is printing as **N = 1,0**.

Thank you 🍁

hux <- 
  mtcars[1:3, 1] |>
  as_huxtable(add_colnames = FALSE) 

hux |> 
  insert_row(mpg = "**N = 1,000**")

Have you tried playing with number_format?

[hughjonesd]

My guess is that it's treating the numbers as separate and then number_format is truncating the zeros. This is a legit bug, I guess? but at the same time recognising what is a single number is very difficult and the regex we use is already hideous. I'm not sure that going further down this path will be helpful.

Ohhh, I didn't realize huxtable was formatting numbers like this.

If I am not relying on huxtable to implement any formatting/rounding, do you recommend I add this to the end of all my series of huxtable calls? (I would add this internally in gtsummary)

  huxtable::set_number_format(NA)

[hughjonesd]

Yes, that’s a sensible approach for sure.
