#' Print astra tables

#' @description
#'
#' If a tabulation function is called from the top level, it should print out
#' its table(s) on its own. If that tabulation function is called not from the
#' top level, such as from within a loop or another function, you need to call
#' `print()` explicitly. For example:
#'
#' ```
#' set_survey(namcs2019sv)
#' for (vr in c("AGER", "SEX")) {
#'   print( tab_subset(vr, "MAJOR", "Preventive care") )
#' }
#' ```
#'
#' @details
#'
#' The package used to produce the tables can be changed -- see the `output` argument
#' of [set_opts()] for details. By default, the table-making package `huxtable` is used.
#'
#' @param x an object of class `astra_table` or `astra_list`.
#' @param ... passed to helper functions.
#'
#' @return
#' Returns `x` invisibly.

#' @examples
#' set_survey(namcs2019sv)
#' table1 = tab("AGER")
#' print(table1)
#' table_many = tab("MDDO", "SPECCAT", "MSA")
#' print(table_many)
print.astra_table = function(x, ...) {
  getOption("astra.print") %>% do.call( list(x, ...) )
  invisible(x)
}
