#' @description deprecated

#' @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}")`  You could
#' probably add your language package here if you use non-English text in your
#' table, such as `\\\\usepackage[magyar]{babel}`.
#' @param keep_pdf A T/F option to control if the mid-way standalone pdf should
#' be kept. Default is `FALSE`.
#' @param density Resolution to read the PDF file. Default value is 300, which
#' should be sufficient in most cases.
#' @param keep_tex A T/F option to control if the latex file that is initially created
#' should be kept. Default is `FALSE`.
