[-]Word output with `gt::md()` in title[/-][+]Word output with `gt::md()` in column labels[/+]rich-iannone commentedon Oct 12, 2022
Thanks for discovering this and creating the issue! This one’s pretty important to fix.
ddsjoberg commentedon Oct 27, 2022
Just a bit more detail: this also applies to the spanning headers. Thank you! 🍁
thebioengineer commentedon Nov 4, 2022
Yeah, right now there isn't much support for markdown inline. I didn't investigate what was existing. It is on the list of things!
ddsjoberg commentedon Nov 4, 2022
@thebioengineer if i can help in some way, please do let me know! thank you!
thebioengineer commentedon Nov 4, 2022
I'm working through it, honestly your examples are super helpful. Testing word is not easy (@rich-iannone and I spent probably too many hours trying to think of ways) other than just opening up the word doc to see if it rendered properly
rich-iannone commentedon Mar 27, 2023
Works great now!

Using
gt::md()renders different markdown syntax differently, depending upon where it is called.Reprex:

@MikeJohnPage Thanks for bringing this up. I've made a new issue, #1892, to track this (comments in old, closed issues tend to get lost in the shuffle).
MikeJohnPage commentedon Sep 26, 2024
Thanks @rich-iannone, I appreciate you taking a look at this.
