The gt_split() function

Use a subset of the gtcars dataset to create a gt table. Format the msrp column to display numbers as currency values, set column widths with cols_width(), and split the table at every five rows with gt_split(). This creates a gt_group object containing two tables. Printing this object yields two tables separated by a line break.

Use a smaller subset of the gtcars dataset to create a gt table. Format the msrp column to display numbers as currency values, set the table width with tab_options() and split the table at the model column This creates a gt_group object again containing two tables but this time we get a vertical split. Printing this object yields two tables of the same width.
