Other output_format for get_format

[AQLT]

Since the template is simple, it could be good to enable other output_format than only html.
Moreover, not at it is not recommended to write by default in users home filespace.

hi Alain,
Yes it would be interesting to be able to export the report in other formats (pdf for example).

Also, the path.out argument currently allows you to choose the destination of the generated file. But what is your opinion when the user does not provide a path.
Is it better to return an error or choose another path?
Here the default destination is not home but the working directory of the user's project, is it a bad practice?

Hi Tanguy,
On the path.out option it is not allowed by CRAN policies (also in examples/vignettes). For CRAN we must only write/save files if the user has specified a directory in the function themselves.
That's why the RJDemetra::save_spec() uses by default the tempdir() function, RJDemetra::save_worskpace() example use a tempdir() and rjwsacruncher::create_param_file() doesn't have any default directory

Ok so:

• either generate an error if the path.out argument is missing,
• or generate it in a tempdir

We extended the output to .pdf and .html. Maybe to .docx files but there are some problem with the tables currently.

I think this issue can be closed.
