Examples

dat_mtcars_e |> head() |> e_table_print()
## Not run: 
# html rescaled size
dat_mtcars_e |>
  head() |>
  e_table_print(sw_scale = 6)
# outputs into LaTeX document, scaling is automatic to fit page width
# works best before a \clearpage
# use chunk option: results = 'asis', see other options at https://yihui.org/knitr/options/
dat_mtcars_e |>
  head() |>
  e_table_print(sw_scale = TRUE, sw_kable_format = "latex")
