Running as_docorator() does not render your display - it
creates a docorator object to store all your display
information. For rendering, an explicit call to a render function is
needed. A display can be output to PDF, RTF, or both via a combination
of the render_pdf() and render_rtf()
functions.
Further, with render_pdf(), users have a choice of R
Markdown or Quarto engines via the quarto option.
Currently, the result is nearly identical, except for {gt} tables, where
quarto = FALSE renders the gt via the
longtable LaTeX library and quarto = TRUE via
the tabular LaTeX library. Please note the Quarto engine is
currently experimental and can take longer to render.

render_pdf()If you understand the underlying LaTeX involved in going from a
display object to PDF, render_pdf has a few arguments which
could be of use.
transform argument allows you to pass a function to
manipulate the LaTeX string of the object before it goes to PDF.header_latex argument allows additional LaTeX to be
added to the header-includes section of the template.Rmd used for PDF
generation. For example, you can pass additional LaTeX libraries here.
This should be passed as a .tex file.escape_latex argument controls escaping for special
characters in headers and footers. This can be set to FALSE
to disable the escaping if manual escaping is preferred, i.e. if results
are not as expected.as_docorator(

display_name = "mytbl"

render_rtf()Due to the limitations of the RTF file format, some arguments
specified in your as_docorator() call are not preserved,
such as certain formatting or table styling. Document decoration headers
are also not preserved, only titles specified as ‘center’ will be
applied.

render_rtf()Both render_pdf() and render_rtf() return
the original object created with as_docorator(), and as
such, can be piped one after another as shown in the example above.
