README.md
forgts 
forgts reads a spreadsheet and its formatting information to produce gt tables with the same cell and text formatting as the input file.
Text and cell formats supported include:
- font face (bold, italic)
- font style (color, underline, strikethrough)
- cell fill
- cell borders (color and width)
Note that formatting in the headers is ignored intentionally in this package, and that the cell and text formatting is added iteratively on top of gt defaults.

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("luisDVA/forgts")
