#' Specify the look of the selected column
#'
#' @description This function allows users to select a column and then specify
#' its look.
#'
#' @param kable_input Output of `knitr::kable()` with `format` specified
#' @param column A numeric value or vector indicating which column(s) to be selected.
#' @param width A character string telling HTML & LaTeX how wide the column
#' needs to be, e.g. "10cm", "3in" or "30em".
#' @param bold A T/F value to control whether the text of the selected column
#' need to be bolded.
#' @param italic A T/F value to control whether the text of the selected column
#' need to be emphasized.
#' @param monospace A T/F value to control whether the text of the selected column
#' need to be monospaced (verbatim)
#' @param underline A T/F value to control whether the text of the selected row
#' need to be underlined
#' @param strikeout A T/F value to control whether the text of the selected row
#' need to be stricked out.
#' @param color A character string for column text color. Here please pay
#' attention to the differences in color codes between HTML and LaTeX.
#' @param background A character string for column background color. Here please
#' pay attention to the differences in color codes between HTML and LaTeX.
#' @param border_left A logical variable indicating whether there should be a
#' border line on the left of the selected column. In HTML, you can also pass
#' in a character string for the CSS of the border line
#' @param border_right A logical variable indicating whether there should be a
#' border line on the right of the selected column. In HTML, you can also pass
#' in a character string for the CSS of the border line
#' @param min_width Only for HTML table. Normal column width will automatically
#' collapse when the window cannot hold enough contents. With this `min_width`,
#' you can set up a column with a width that won't collapse even when the
#' window is not wide enough.
#' @param max_width Only for HTML table. `max_width` defines the maximum width
#' of table columns.
#' @param extra_css Extra css text to be passed into the cells of the row. Note
#' that it's not for the whole column but to each individual cells
#' @param include_thead T/F. A HTML only feature to contoll whether the
#' header row will be manipulated. Default is `FALSE`.
#'
#' @examples x <- knitr::kable(head(mtcars), "html")
#' column_spec(x, 1:2, width = "20em", bold = TRUE, italic = TRUE)
#'
#' @export
