Hi, I have tried to fix the unformatted file entirely by using the styler approach and see nil changes..?? Opened the file,

ran:

library(tidyverse)
library(haven)
library(table1)
library(finalfit)
library(knitr)
library(xfun)

then used the drop down in the add-in and selected "style active file".

I see nil changes were made ( that is it did not format anything).

In the console, I see: styler:::style_active_file() Using style transformers styler::tidyverse_style()

Any help would be much appreciated. Thankn you kindly. Paul
