Get table cell text from a table element

Source: R/element_generics.R
get_table.Rd

Extracts the text content from each cell of a Google Slides table element and returns it as a tidy tibble with one row per cell. If a cell contains multiple text runs they are concatenated before being returned.

Only defined for table_element objects; calling on any other element type errors with an informative message.

Usage

get_table(x, ...)

Arguments

x

A table_element object.

Value

A tibble with columns:

  • row (integer): 1-based row index.

  • col (integer): 1-based column index.

  • text (character): concatenated text content of the cell.

Details

The current implementation captures text only. Cell styles, borders, and merged-cell spans are not yet extracted. Full r2slides_table reconstruction is planned for a future release.
