R/save_kable.R

#' Save kable to files
#'
#' @param x A piece of HTML code for tables, usually generated by kable and
#' kableExtra
#' @param file save to files. If the input table is in HTML and the output file
#' ends with `.png`, `.pdf` and `.jpeg`, `webshot` will be used to do the
#' conversion.
#' @param bs_theme Which Bootstrap theme to use
#' @param self_contained Will the files be self-contained?
#' @param extra_dependencies Additional HTML dependencies. For example,
#' `list(`
#' @param ... Additional variables being passed to `webshot::webshot`. This
#' is for HTML only.
#' @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}")`  You could
#' probably add your language package here if you use non-English text in your
#' table, such as `\\\\usepackage[magyar]{babel}`.
#' @param keep_tex A T/F option to control if the latex file that is initially created
#' should be kept. Default is `FALSE`.
#'
#' @export
