R/add_header_left.R

#' Add a heading column to the left side of the table
#'
#' @description This function uses the same syntax as add_header_above. It will
#' add a heading column with grouped rows to the left side of the table. It can
#' act as an alternative way to `group_rows` to show grouped information. As
#' `add_header_above`, users can use this function to add multiple layers of
#' heading columns one by one.
#'
#' @param kable_input Output of `knitr::kable()` with `format` specified
#' @param header A (named) character vector with `rowspan` as values. For
#' example, `c("xxx" = 1, "title" = 2)` can be used to create a new header column
#' for a 3-row table with "xxx" spanning row 1 and "title" spanning row 2 & 3 (
#' two rows). For convenience, when `rowspan` equals to 1, users can drop the
#' ` = 1` part. As a result, `c("xxx", "title" = 2)` is the same as
#' `c("xxx" = 1, "title" = 2)`.
#' @param header_name Column name that that extra column
#' @param align Column alignment. you can choose from "c", "l" or "r"
#' @param ... extra variables for latex or html. For LaTeX table, you can have
#' a TRUE/FALSE option `full_midline` to control if the mid line needs to be
#' extended to the end of row.
