As far as I can tell, there is no locations helper function to select cells or text in the source notes. This means that we are unable to apply certain styles to source notes.
We can apply styling to the source notes through tab_options; however this is much more limited than tab_style and does not include the ability to set a specific font.
Agreed that there should be location helper functions for the source notes and for the footnotes. Thanks for reporting as this was a major oversight.
No problem! Thanks for developing such a nice package!
I didn't link this issue but a recent PR (https://github.com/rstudio/gt/pull/737) added the cells_source_notes() (and cells_footnotes()) functions. So those locations can now be styled.
