How to put a spacing of colors in a table of xtable?

I generate the tables with the following instructions:

test.table<-xtable(summary(test),caption='test', floating = FALSE)
align(test.table) <- "|c|l|"
print(test.table,caption.placement='top')

thanks for your answers

Hey Ricardo, could you show us what you have now, and try to explain in more detail what you're looking to do with it? – Griffen

What is test? What does spacing of colors mean? – Puerperal

Answer 1

The html.table.attributes parameter needs a character vector of length equal to number of tables. This produces a bordered, centered table on a rather ugly yellow-orange background:

data(tli)
tli.table <- xtable(tli[1:20,])
digits(tli.table)[c(2,6)] <- 0
print(tli.table,type="html",
      html.table.attributes='border='1' align="center" bgcolor="#FFCC00"' )

And if you're targeting LaTeX use: tabular.environment=

Answer 2

html.table.attributes = list('border="1" bgcolor="#FFCC00"'))

will work!
