#' Collapse repeated rows to multirow cell
#'
#' @description Collapse same values in columns into multirow cells. This
#' feature does similar things with `group_rows`. However, unlike `group_rows`,
#' it analyzes existing columns, finds out rows that can be grouped together,
#' and make them multirow cells. Note that if you want to use `column_spec` to
#' specify column styles, you should use `column_spec` before `collapse_rows`.
#'
#' @param kable_input Output of `knitr::kable()` with `format` specified
#' @param columns Numeric column positions where rows need to be collapsed.
#'
#' @examples dt <- data.frame(a = c(1, 1, 2, 2), b = c("a", "a", "a", "b"))
#' x <- knitr::kable(dt, "html")
#' collapse_rows(x)
