\arguments{
\item{kable_input}{HTML or LaTeX table generated by \code{knitr::kable}}

\item{general}{Text for general footnote comments. Footnotes in this section
won't be labeled with any notations}

\item{number}{A vector of footnote texts. Footnotes here will be numbered.
There is no upper cap for the number of footnotes here}

\item{alphabet}{A vector of footnote texts, Footnotes here will be labeled
with abc. The vector here should not have more than 26 elements.}

\item{symbol}{A vector of footnote texts, Footnotes here will be labeled
with special symbols. The vector here should not have more than 20 elements.}

\item{footnote_order}{The order of how to arrange \code{general}, \code{number},
\code{alphabet} and \code{symbol}.}

\item{footnote_as_chunk}{T/F value. Default is FALSE. It controls whether
the footnotes should be printed in a chunk (without line break).}

\item{escape}{T/F value. It controls whether the contents and titles should
