## What it is
gt is an R package for creating information-rich, publication-quality display tables from data frames or tibbles using a cohesive set of table parts (header, stub, column labels, body, footer). It renders tables to HTML, LaTeX, and RTF, and can export via gtsave() for use in R Markdown, Quarto, and other documents.

## Use cases
- create publication-quality summary tables in R
- format tables for R Markdown or Quarto reports
- export tables to HTML, LaTeX, RTF, or Word docx
- format currency, dates, percentages, and numbers in tables
- add headers, footers, and spanner column labels to tables
- make presentation-ready tables from data frames

## When to choose
- you work in R and need polished display tables for reports or publications
- you need multi-format table output (HTML, LaTeX, RTF) from one pipeline
- you want a pipe-friendly, grammar-like API for table formatting

## When to avoid
- you need interactive or sortable web tables rather than static display tables
- you are not working in R
- you need plotting/charting rather than tabular output

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: data-visualization, templating, markdown
- domain: data-visualization, data-science, documentation, web-development
- platform: cross-platform
