aftables 2.0.1

  • Bug fix: added rlang import for backwards compatibility with R versions < 4.4.0 (#147)

aftables 2.0.0

  • Major update of package back-end to use openxlsx2 functions to build and format workbook (#70).

  • Bug fix: ensured columns containing both numbers/currencies and shorthand have numeric formatting applied to prevent Excel warning of numbers formatted as characters. (#93)

  • Bug fix: numeric formatting applies thousand separators by default. (#51)

  • Added new feature to set document properties and text formatting in a config.yaml file. The new function create_config_yaml() exports an example config.yaml file for users to amend. New arguments config_path and config_name in generate_workbook() are available to users to specify configurations. Alternative arguments author, title and keywords are available to set minimum recommended workbook properties without using a config.yaml file. (#55, #138)

  • Internal: Added code to generate aftables hex logo using {gex} (#134)

aftables 1.0.2

  • Updated package name to aftables. Function names have been updated to remove references to a11ytables.

a11ytables 0.3.2

  • Bug fix: ensured factors are converted to character before assessing whether the column needs to be widened (#110, #113).

a11ytables 0.3.1

  • Bug fix: made it an error if tab names are started with a numeric value (#124).
  • Reduced gif file size, include additional frame (#121).

a11ytables 0.3.0

Breaking changes

  • The new custom_rows argument is the third-to-last argument to create_a11ytable() (it's been inserted before sources and tables) so that the argument order reflects the order of the pre-table rows that appear above tables in the spreadsheet output; this will be a problem for users of {a11ytables} before v0.3 who might have previously specified arguments by place rather than by name (I assume most will have specified arguments by name, so I expect this won't be much of a problem).

New features

  • Added the custom_rows argument to the create_a11ytables() function to supply arbitrary sentences to separate rows above a table in contents, cover and notes sheets (#74).
  • Allowed custom rows to be hyperlinks if the user provides them in Markdown-style (#74).
  • Added the datasets demo_df ('data.frame' class) and demo_a11ytable ('a11ytables' class) to help demo the new custom_rows argument (and do a better job of showcasing other features of the package), superseding mtcars_df and mtcars_df2.

Bugfixes

  • Adjusted Markdown-link detection in cases where the text portion contained parentheses (#119).
  • Ensured the summary method printed table dimensions of cover list items (#79).

Documentation

  • Updated {roxygen2} function documentation given the introduction of custom_rows.
  • Updated vignettes to include detail on how to use custom_rows.
  • Updated accessibility checklist vignette to include 'sensible column width' item (#117).

Miscellaneous

  • Simplified the output of the summary method (#79).
  • Updated tests to use demo_* datasets.
  • Updated RStudio Addin given custom_rows and simplified to data.frame example only.
  • Added internal .vector_to_sentence() function to help construct comma-separated lists from a vector.

a11ytables 0.2.1

  • Bugfix: corrected spelling error in installation instructions in README (#111).
  • Accessibility fix: display number of tables with text rather than a numeral (#109).

a11ytables 0.2.0

New features

  • Allowed the cover information passed to create_a11ytable() to be supplied as a list rather than a data.frame, which means you can have an arbitrary number of rows under each section (#102).
  • Allowed the user to supply links in Markdown format (e.g. [GOV.UK](https://www.gov.uk)) when passing the cover information to the tables argument of create_a11ytables() (#47).
  • Allowed the user to supply links in Markdown format (e.g. [GOV.UK](https://gov.uk)) when passing the data source reference to the source argument of create_a11ytables() (#47).
  • Added an mtcars_df2 demo data set that contains a list input for the cover page, which itself contains Markdown-formatted hyperlinks.

Bugfixes

  • Ensured stringsAsFactors is set explicitly to FALSE in the data.frame call within create_a11ytable(), given that this default behaviour changed in R version 4 (#85).

Docs

  • Updated the 'a11ytables' vignette given the new features.
  • Updated function documentation given the new features.

a11ytables 0.1.0

Breaking changes

  • Renamed the new_a11ytable() function to create_a11ytable() (#27).
  • Renamed the create_a11y_wb() function to generate_workbook() and changed the main argument from 'content' to 'a11ytable' (#27).
  • Removed the 'table_names' argument to create_a11ytable() and instead autogenerate them from the user-provided 'tab_title' (#61).
  • Introduced the blank_cells argument to create_a11ytable() so the user can provide a table-by-table reason for why cells might be empty (#62).
  • Adjusted the in-built mtcars_df data set to better fit the changes to the functions.

Bugfixes

  • Provided a warning, rather than error, if you don't provide any 'source' argument to create_a11ytable().

Docs

  • Added a vignette to provide an overview of the code underlying the package so that it's easier for developers to contribute (#58).
  • Added a vignette to explain the terminology of a spreadsheet, as used in the package (#58).
  • Referred to the updated gptables Python package and the best practice spreadsheet guidance on the Analysis Function website (#73).
  • Added hex logo (#81).
  • Updated README and other vignettes to reflect changes to the function API.
  • Corrected various typos.

Miscellaneous

  • Increased test coverage (#63).
  • Updated user-input sanitising: it now removes punctuation in 'tab_title', inserts underscores in place of spaces and adds full-stops to blank_cells and source data (#78).
  • Consolidated all a11ytable-class-related functioning into as_a11ytable() so that create_a11ytable() only has to build a data.frame from supplied arguments and apply as_a11ytable() to it (#80).
  • Added warning for user if the 'blank_cells' argument is provided to create_a11ytable() but there are no blank cells in the table, and vice versa.
  • Updated content of RStudio Addins to reflect function and argument changes.
  • Adjusted default column widths in notes and contents.
  • Renamed files in R/ for consistency and clarity.
  • Switched to inherits() for class detection in if() statements.

  • Added an RStudio Addin to insert code for an {a11ytables} workflow (#54).

a11ytables 0.0.0.90012

  • Made source, notes and table insertion dynamic, so the row of insertion of each is dependent on the others (#33).
  • Applied table styling based on dynamic table placement (#33).

a11ytables 0.0.0.90011

  • Prevented the tab title being pasted into the titles of tables sheets (#48).
  • Made sure to wrap non-header cells in tables sheets (#41).
  • Provided an auto-column-width adjustment in tables where cell content or headers is long (#41).

a11ytables 0.0.0.90010

  • Isolated out .insert_*() functions for table count and note presence from .insert_prelim_a11y(), for clarity.

a11ytables 0.0.0.9007

  • BREAKING CHANGE: removed subtables because they're not being used for now and are confusing.
  • Added the first draft vignettes on how to create an a11ytable and an accessibility guidance checklist (#22).

a11ytables 0.0.0.9006

  • HOTFIX: fixed a problem where the tab_title was being used to filter when it should have been sheet_type.

a11ytables 0.0.0.9005

  • BREAKING CHANGE: the user-supplied table for the cover sheet should now be supplied as a tidy two-column data.frame with a row per subsection, with columns for the 'subsection title' and 'subsection body'.
  • Updated the lfs_tables and lfs_subtables example data sets given the above; for an example see lfs_tables[lfs_tables$sheet_type == "cover", "table"][[1]].

a11ytables 0.0.0.9004

  • BREAKING CHANGE: switched to using the sheet_type column of an a11ytable-class object to infer the sheet type as 'cover', 'contents', 'notes' or 'tables' (replacing 'meta'); it's no longer the tab_title that serves this role (#18).

a11ytables 0.0.0.9002

  • Simplified all add_*() functions to a single create_a11y_wb() function (moving towards #15), though add_*() functions are all still exported.
  • Split supplied data into two, with and without sub-table examples: lfs_tables and lfs_subtables, respectively.
  • Updated README to detail simplified approach.

a11ytables 0.0.0.9001
