#' Convert a LaTeX table to an image and place it in a rmarkdown document
#'
#' @description This is a LaTeX-only function. This function will render the
#' raw LaTeX code (could be codes generated by other table packages like
#' `xtable`) to generate a table, convert it to an image and put it back to a
#' rmarkdown environment. It is a "better than nothing" solution to print high
#' quality tables in rmarkdown Word document. By using this, you need to take
#' the responsibility of explaining to your collaborators why they can't make
#' edits to the tables in Word. 😂
#'
#' Also, if a filename is provided, user has the option to "save" the table to
#' an image file like `ggplot2::ggsave()`.
#'
#' The idea of this function was coming from [this StackOverflow question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44711313/save-rmarkdowns-report-tables-and-figures-to-file).
#' The approach was learned and adopted from the [texpreview](https://github.com/metrumresearchgroup/texPreview)
#' package, which allows you to preview the results of TeX code in the Viewer panel.
#'
#' @param kable_input Raw LaTeX code to generate a table. It doesn't have to
#' came from `kable` or `kableExtra`.
#' @param filename Character String. If specified, the image will be saved under
#' the specified (path &) name. You don't need to put file format like ".png"
#' here.
#' @param file_format Character String to specify image format, such as `png`,
#' `jpeg`, `gif`, `tiff`, etc. Default is `png`.
#' @param latex_header_includes A character vector of extra LaTeX header stuff.
#' Each element is a row. You can have things like
#' `c("\\usepackage{threeparttable}", "\\usepackage{icons}")`
#' @param keep_pdf A T/F option to control if the mid-way standalone pdf should
#' be kept. Default is `FALSE`.
#'
#' @examples kable_as_image(kable(mtcars, "latex"), "mtcars")
