The as_latex() function

Use gtcars to create a gt table. Add a header and then export as an object with LaTeX code.

tab_latex <-
  gtcars |>
  dplyr::select(mfr, model, msrp) |>
  dplyr::slice(1:5) |>
  gt() |>
  tab_header(
    title = md("Data listing from **gtcars**"),
    subtitle = md("`gtcars` is an R dataset")
  ) |>
  as_latex()

What’s returned is a knit_asis object, which makes it easy to include in R Markdown documents that are knit to PDF. We can use as.character() to get just the LaTeX code as a single-element vector.
