Description
Bug description
The footnotes generated at the bottom of a gtsummary table by e.g. tbl_summary() are left aligned by default. When using the tbl- prefix for cross-referencing the table caption, the footnotes become centered
Steps to reproduce
---
title: "Untitled"
execute:
echo: false
---
```{r}
#| label: load
library(gt)
library(gtsummary)
```
```{r}
#| label: example-1
#| tbl-cap: "Caption without crossref"
trial |>
select(age, grade, response) |>
tbl_summary()
```
```{r}
#| label: tbl-example-2
#| tbl-cap: "Caption with Crossref but center aligned footnote"
trial |>
select(age, grade, response) |>
tbl_summary()
```
```{r}
#| label: tbl-example-3
#| tbl-cap: "Caption with correct Crossref"
trial |>
select(age, grade, response) |>
tbl_summary() |>
as_gt() |>
tab_style(style = cell_text(align = "left"),
locations = cells_footnotes())
```
Expected behavior
Footnotes are left aligned when cross-referencing is used but I have to use additional formatting from package gt. This is the output from chunk tbl-example-3.
Actual behavior
Footnotes are left aligned when no cross-referencing is used (output from example-1), but when cross-referencing is used footnotes are centre aligned (output from tbl-example-2).
