kable(x, digits = y) fails when any column is not numeric

[nacnudus]

It would be lovely if kable could handle the rounding in this case, as it is tricky to do it manually. Perhaps "digits" could accept a vector with a value for each column, using NA for text columns.

library(knitr)
test <- data.frame(text = "hello", number1 = 1.135, number2 = 2.135)
test

##    text number1 number2
## 1 hello   1.135   2.135

kable(test, digits = 2)

## |text   |  number1|  number2|
## |:------|--------:|--------:|
## |hello  |    1.135|    2.135|

kable(test[, -1], digits = 2)

## |  number1|  number2|
## |--------:|--------:|
## |     1.14|     2.13|

I just tried the development version here, and the problem seems to have been fixed.

I'll think about the vector version of digits. Thanks!

Thanks Yihui, sorry for not checking the dev version first.

I have added the support for digits as a vector. Thanks!

kable(data.frame(x=rnorm(10), y=rnorm(10)), digits = c(1, 4))

Awesome, thanks Yihui!
