I have a long string which I want in a table, for instance 100x the letter A (AAA...). I would like kable to split this string into multiple lines if they don't fit in the table instead of making these strings overflow such as shownhere.
I noticed kable is actually able of doing so, provided there are newlines or -'s in your string, see for instance here.
However, I would like kable to do this splitting on either selected characters or on any character, so the output result would be this, but I don't know how to achieve this. I had a look on SO and in the kableextra documentation, but no luck. Any suggestions?
Below is a chunk to play around with.
