makeCodebook: broken summary table if variable description contains a dash #5

Description

@soelderer

I'm creating a codebook with makeCodebook for a dataset which includes variables with long labels. At some variable the codebook summary table ended abruptly with a horizontal row, messing with the table for the following variables.

I took a look at the Rmd-file and it turned out that the long variable label contained a dash, which unfortunately due to the lengthy label was placed in its own row with no other characters following. This might have been interpreted as a table row, breaking the layout. I'm rendering to pdf.

As this is an ongoing research project I can't share details, but here's how the Rmd looked like:

Some long label **[name]** numeric 10 59.56 % -
with a dash.

Manually moving the dash to the above row and knitting fixed the issue.
