Save huxtable in R to file in LaTex format

Question

How can I save a huxtable to a file in LaTeX (.tex) format? I did find this code to print LaTeX tables to the console:

library(huxtable)
ht <- huxtable(
        a = 1:3,
        b = letters[1:3]
      )
print_latex(ht)

Does the huxtable package have a native way to save the table to disk or do we need a workaround?

There might be other ways but using capture.output works -

library(huxtable)
capture.output(print_latex(ht), file = 'output.tex')

Or you could just use `cat(to_latex(ht), file = 'output.tex')`. – dash2 Aug 12 '21 at 15:02

The huxtable package has a function to do that: quick_latex(ht, file = "Table.tex", open = FALSE).

NB the difference with the other answer. `quick_latex()` prints an entire tex document. `to_latex()` or `to_latex()` just print the tex for the table itself – dash2 Aug 12 '21 at 15:02
