Set flextable rule for rows heights

control rules of each height for a part of the flextable, this is only for Word and PowerPoint outputs, it will not have any effect when output is HTML or PDF.

For PDF see the ft.arraystretch chunk option.

Usage

hrule(x, i = NULL, rule = "auto", part = "body")

Arguments

x

flextable object

i

rows selection

rule

specify the meaning of the height. Possible values are "atleast" (height should be at least the value specified), "exact" (height should be exactly the value specified), or the default value "auto" (height is determined based on the height of the contents, so the value is ignored).

part

partname of the table, one of "all", "header", "body", "footer"
