Add column split spanner information to st object

See the span_split argument passed to stable() and then tab_spanners().

st_span_split(x, ..., split = TRUE)

Arguments

x	an stobject
...	passed to colsplit()
split	passed to colsplit(), if split is FALSE, then an error is generated

Details

There can only be one span_split per table; if st_span_split is called more than once in a pipeline, a warning will be issued on every call after the first one and only the latest span_split data will be retained in the table.

Examples

library(dplyr)

file <- system.file("datasets", "with-dots.RDS", package = "pmtables")

data <- readRDS(file)

st_new(data) %>% st_span_split('.') %>% st_make()
