latex output

[tgrrr]

Big fan, great package.

I'm trying to output my formattable tables using latex. I've tested using pandoc, xelatex, etc. But All I get is a 1 inch wide column with no background.

It works fine with HTML output

Code for reference:

```{r}
library(formattable)
customGreen0 = "#DeF7E9"
customGreen = "#71CA97"

PropertyNo <- c(1:5)
Area <- c(600,800,1500,2500,250)
Bedrooms  <- c(2, 3, 2, 5, 3)
Bathrooms<- c(2, 1, 1, 4, 2)
CarParks <- c(1, 2, 1, 4, 1)
PropertyType <- c(1, 0, 0, 0, 1)

prediction_df = data.frame(PropertyNo, Area, Bedrooms, Bathrooms, CarParks, PropertyType)

formattable(prediction_df, list(
	`PropertyType` = formatter("span",
		style = x ~ style(color = ifelse(x, "grey", "black")),
		x ~ icontext(ifelse(x, "house-door", ""), ifelse(x, "Unit", "House"))),
	`Bedrooms`= color_tile(customGreen0, customGreen),
	`Bathrooms`= color_tile(customGreen0, customGreen),
	`CarParks`= color_tile(customGreen0, customGreen)
))
