Table display

[henry2004y]

Hi,

What is the recommended way to display tables using Books.jl? A markdown style table is supported, but a LaTeX table (\begin{table} ... \end{table}) won't work with the default settings.

Another issue about DataFrames.jl tables is that the display cannot be easily set, e.g. customized formats, round-off digits, and LaTeX display. Maybe it can be done with PrettyTables.jl?

The support for Markdown tables should be roughly the same as what Pandoc supports, see for example https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#tables. To tweak it more, you can manually embed html and pdf code. The first block will only be included in html and the second only in the tex (I think it should be {=pdf} at least, maybe it should be {=tex} or something):

<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Hello</th>
  </tr>
</table>

\begin{table} ... \end{table}

Rounding digits is possibly by converting them to the right strings first and keeping those in the table. It's not ideal, but it works. Maybe the same works for LaTeX? That is, first convert it to string manually?
