Get the LaTeX content from a gt_tbl object as a knit_asis object. This
object contains the LaTeX code and attributes that serve as LaTeX
dependencies (i.e., the LaTeX packages required for the table). Using
as.character() on the created object will result in a single-element vector
containing the LaTeX code.
