of the placeholder that will contain the table. They
default to {r ft.left=1, ft.left=2}.
Using flextable with template `pdf_document` is OK if the flextable fits on one single page. The PDF output is not a real latex output but a PNG image generated with package 'webshot' or package 'webshot2'. Package 'webshot2' should be prefered as 'webshot' can have issues with some properties (i.e. bold are not rendered for some users).
To specify usage of 'webshot2', use chunk option `webshot="webshot2"`.
