#' Add a header row on top of current header
#'
#' @description Tables with multiple rows of header rows are extremely useful
#' to demonstrate grouped data. This function takes the output of a `kable()`
#' function and adds an header row on top of it.
#'
#' @param kable_input Output of `knitr::kable()` with `format` specified
#' @param header A (named) character vector with `colspan` as values. For
#' example, `c(" " = 1, "title" = 2)` can be used to create a new header row
#' for a 3-column table with "title" spanning across column 2 and 3. For
#' convenience, when `colspan` equals to 1, users can drop the ` = 1` part.
#' As a result, `c(" ", "title" = 2)` is the same as `c(" " = 1, "title" = 2)`.
#' @param bold A T/F value to control whether the text should be bolded.
#' @param italic A T/F value to control whether the text should to be emphasized.
#' @param monospace A T/F value to control whether the text of the selected column
#' need to be monospaced (verbatim)
#' @param escape A T/F value showing whether special characters should be
#' escaped.
#' @param line A T/F value to control whether a line will appear underneath the
#' header
#'
#' @examples x <- knitr::kable(head(mtcars), "html")
#' # Add a row of header with 3 columns on the top of the table. The column
#' # span for the 2nd and 3rd one are 5 & 6.
#' add_header_above(x, c(" ", "Group 1" = 5, "Group 2" = 6))
