Add a header row

Source: R/spec_context.R
add_header.Rd

Generic function to add header rows. Dispatches to class-specific methods, allowing headers to be added to both spec objects and global options.

Usage

add_header(spec = NULL, ..., level = NULL)

Arguments

spec

Spec object (dispatches on class)

...

Up to 3 character strings (left, center, right)

  • Positional parts represent left, center and right header/footer cells respectively.

  • Supply fewer than 3 parts if some cells should be empty; use empty string "" for explicit empties.

  • Each call appends one header/footer row; use the level parameter to replace an existing row.

level

Optional numeric index. If provided, replaces header at that row. If NULL, appends next row.

Value

Updated spec object

Details

Each call adds a new header row. Per schema, headers are arrays of arrays (each call = one row).

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Add to a spec object
spec <- create_text() |>
  add_header("Study ABC-123", "CONFIDENTIAL", "Page {PAGE}") |>
  add_header("Protocol v2.0", "", paste("Date:", format(Sys.Date(), "%Y-%m-%d")))

# Add to global options
options <- tfl_get_options()
options <- add_header(options, "Study ABC-123", "CONFIDENTIAL", "Page {PAGE}")
} # }
