That'd be so great! I've stumbled upon your great package and I'd really like to use it in rmd to export
pdfs using papaja, which leads to nice manuscripts in APA style. Currently, if I see it correctly I can use your package only in my Online Supplementary Material, where I provide htmls. That's of course something, but if I could use it in the regular manuscript, that'd be even better. Thanks for the great work!

A couple of people have used the rvest::html_table() function to parse the HTML output of table1 back into R, which can then be converted to LaTeX using other packages, but I find this to be somewhat of a kludgy solution.

This would be an amazing feature. +1

@benjaminrich would you be able to provide more information on how to do this? would love to figure this out to have some sort of LaTeX PDF report with these tables (via RMarkdown).

Just wanted to thank the author @benjaminrich as well as people trying the rvest::html_table() solution. I haven't tried it myself but I'll report back if it's doable. I'm compiling my dissertation right now with .Rnw and would love to be able to get output that would require minimal manipulation.

The idea of using rvest::read_html() was proposed by @mtkent1 in #17 (comment).

In the newly released version 1.4, it is now possible! LaTeX can be generated via kableExtra using the t1kable() function, or via flextable using the t1flex() function.
