\usage{
kable_styling(kable_input, bootstrap_options = "basic",
  latex_options = "basic", full_width = NULL, position = "center",
  font_size = NULL, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{kable_input}{Output of \code{knitr::kable()} with \code{format} specified}

\item{bootstrap_options}{A character vector for bootstrap table options.
Please see package vignette or visit the w3schools'
\href{https://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap/bootstrap_tables.asp}{Bootstrap Page}
for more information. Possible options include \code{basic}, \code{striped},
\code{bordered}, \code{hover}, \code{condensed} and \code{responsive}.}

\item{latex_options}{A character vector for LaTeX table options. Please see
package vignette for more information. Possible options include
\code{basic}, \code{striped}, \code{hold_position}, \code{HOLD_position}, \code{scale_down} & \code{repeat_header}.
\code{striped} will add alternative row colors to the table. It will imports
\code{LaTeX} package \code{xcolor} if enabled. \code{hold_position} will "hold" the floating
table to the exact position. It is useful when the \code{LaTeX} table is contained
in a \code{table} environment after you specified captions in \code{kable()}. It will
force the table to stay in the position where it was created in the document.
A stronger version: \code{HOLD_position} requires the \code{float} package and specifies \code{[H]}.
\code{scale_down} is useful for super wide table. It will automatically adjust
the table to page width. \code{repeat_header} in only meaningful in a longtable
environment. It will let the header row repeat on every page in that long
table.}

\item{full_width}{A \code{TRUE} or \code{FALSE} variable controlling whether the HTML
table should have 100\% width. Since HTML and pdf have different flavors on
the preferable format for \code{full_width}. If not specified, a HTML table will
have full width by default but this option will be set to \code{FALSE} for a
LaTeX table}

\item{position}{A character string determining how to position the table
on a page. Possible values include \code{left}, \code{center}, \code{right}, \code{float_left}
and \code{float_right}. Please see the package doc site for demonstrations. For
a \code{LaTeX} table, if \code{float_*} is selected, \code{LaTeX} package \code{wrapfig} will be
imported.}

\item{font_size}{A numeric input for table font size}

\item{...}{extra options for HTML or LaTeX. See \code{details}.}

\description{
This function provides a cleaner approach to modify the style
of HTML tables other than using the \code{table.attr} option in \code{knitr::kable()}. Note
that those bootstrap options requires Twitter bootstrap theme, which is not avaiable
in some customized template being loaded.
}
\details{
For LaTeX, extra options includes:
\itemize{
\item \code{repeat_header_method} can either be \code{append}(default) or \code{replace}
\item \code{repeat_header_text} is just a text string you want to append on or
replace the caption.
\item \code{stripe_color} allows users to pick a different color for their strip lines.
\item \code{latex_table_env} character string to define customized table environment
such as tabu or tabularx.You shouldn't expect all features could be
supported in self-defined environments.
