#' Table Output
#'
#' Creates a reactive table that is suitable for assigning to an \code{output}
#' slot.
#'
#' The corresponding HTML output tag should be \code{div} and have the CSS
#' class name \code{shiny-html-output}.
#'
#' @param expr An expression that returns an R object that can be used with
#' \code{\link[xtable]{xtable}}.
#' @param striped,hover,bordered Logicals: if \code{TRUE}, apply the
#' corresponding Bootstrap table format to the output table.
#' @param spacing The spacing between the rows of the table (\code{xs}
#' stands for "extra small", \code{s} for "small", \code{m} for "medium"
#' and \code{l} for "large").
#' @param width Table width. Must be a valid CSS unit (like "100%", "400px",
#' "auto") or a number, which will be coerced to a string and
#' have "px" appended.
#' @param align A string that specifies the column alignment. If equal to
#' \code{'l'}, \code{'c'} or \code{'r'}, then all columns will be,
#' respectively, left-, center- or right-aligned. Otherwise, \code{align}
#' must have the same number of characters as the resulting table (if
#' \code{rownames = TRUE}, this will be equal to \code{ncol()+1}), with
#' the \emph{i}-th character specifying the alignment for the
#' \emph{i}-th column (besides \code{'l'}, \code{'c'} and
#' \code{'r'}, \code{'?'} is also permitted - \code{'?'} is a placeholder
#' for that particular column, indicating that it should keep its default
#' alignment). If \code{NULL}, then all numeric/integer columns (including
#' the row names, if they are numbers) will be right-aligned and
#' everything else will be left-aligned (\code{align = '?'} produces the
#' same result).
#' @param rownames,colnames Logicals: include rownames? include colnames
#' (column headers)?
#' @param digits An integer specifying the number of decimal places for
#' the numeric columns (this will not apply to columns with an integer
#' class). If \code{digits} is set to a negative value, then the numeric
#' columns will be displayed in scientific format with a precision of
#' \code{abs(digits)} digits.
#' @param na The string to use in the table cells whose values are missing
#' (i.e. they either evaluate to \code{NA} or \code{NaN}).
#' @param ... Arguments to be passed through to \code{\link[xtable]{xtable}}
#' and \code{\link[xtable]{print.xtable}}.
#' @param env The environment in which to evaluate \code{expr}.
#' @param quoted Is \code{expr} a quoted expression (with \code{quote()})?
#' This is useful if you want to save an expression in a variable.
#' @param outputArgs A list of arguments to be passed through to the
#' implicit call to \code{\link{tableOutput}} when \code{renderTable} is
#' used in an interactive R Markdown document.
