#' @export
#' @title Global table properties
#' @description Set table layout and table width. Default to fixed
#' algorithm.
#'
#' If layout is fixed, column widths will be used to display the table;
#' `width` is ignored.
#'
#' If layout is autofit, column widths will not be used;
#' table width is used (as a percentage).
#' @note
#' PowerPoint output ignore 'autofit layout'.
#' @param x flextable object
#' @param layout 'autofit' or 'fixed' algorithm. Default to 'fixed'.
#' @param width The parameter has a different effect depending on the
#' output format. Users should consider it as a minimum width.
#' In HTML, it is the minimum width of the space that the
#' table should occupy. In Word, it is a preferred size and Word
#' may decide not to strictly stick to it. It has no effect on
#' PowerPoint and PDF output. Its default value is 0, as an effect, it
#' only use necessary width to display all content. It is not used by the
#' PDF output.
#' @param align alignment in document (only Word, HTML and PDF),
#' supported values are 'left', 'center' and 'right'.
#' @param opts_html html options as a list. Supported elements are:
#' - 'extra_css': extra css instructions to be integrated with the HTML
#' code of the table.
#' - 'scroll': NULL or a list if you want to add a scroll-box.
#'     - Use an empty list to add an horizontal scroll.  The with
#'     is fixed, corresponding to the container's width.
#'     - If the list has a value named `height` it will be used as
#'     height and the scroll will happen also vertically. The height
#'     will be in pixel if numeric, if a string it should be a valid css
#'     measure.
#'     - If the list has a value named `freeze_first_column` set to `TRUE`,
#'     the first column is set as a *sticky* column.
#'     - If the list has a value named `add_css` it will be used as extra
#'     css to add, .i.e: `border:1px solid red;`.
#' - 'extra_class': extra classes to add in the table tag
#' @param opts_word Word options as a list. Supported elements are:
#' - 'split':  Word option 'Allow row to break across pages' can be
#' activated when TRUE.
#' - 'keep_with_next': Word option 'keep rows together' is
#' activated when TRUE. It avoids page break within tables. This
#' is handy for small tables, i.e. less than a page height.
#' - 'repeat_headers': Word option 'Repeat as header row' is
#' activated and associated to header rows when TRUE.
#' @param opts_pdf PDF options as a list. Supported elements are:
#' - 'tabcolsep': space between the text and the left/right border of its containing
#' cell.
#' - 'arraystretch': height of each row relative to its default
#' height, the default value is 1.5.
#' - 'float': type of floating placement in the PDF document, one of:
#'     * 'none' (the default value), table is placed after the preceding
#' paragraph.
#'     * 'float', table can float to a place in the text where it fits best
#'     * 'wrap-r', wrap text around the table positioned to the right side of the text
#'     * 'wrap-l', wrap text around the table positioned to the left side of the text
#'     * 'wrap-i', wrap text around the table positioned inside edge-near the binding
#'     * 'wrap-o', wrap text around the table positioned outside edge-far from the binding
#' - 'fonts_ignore': if TRUE, pdf-engine 'pdflatex' can be used instead of
#' 'xelatex' or 'lualatex.' If pdflatex is used, fonts will be ignored because they are
#' not supported by pdflatex, whereas with the xelatex and lualatex engines they are.
#' - 'caption_repeat': a boolean that indicates if the caption should be
#' repeated along pages. Its default value is `TRUE`.
#' - 'footer_repeat': a boolean that indicates if the footer should be
#' repeated along pages. Its default value is `TRUE`.
#' - 'default_line_color': default line color, restored globally after
#' the flextable is produced.
#' @param word_title alternative text for Word table (used as title of the table)
#' @param word_description alternative text for Word table (used as description of the table)
