Hello!

I’ve been playing a bit with Weave.jl tonight and found it very fun to use! I tried to do a table though, and I must admit: I did struggle quite a bit.

Basically it does work if one does;

```julia
using DataFrames
DataFrame(A = 1:3, B = ["x","y","z"])

```

Then it will output something when compiling in Weave.jl which is really nice - but how can I control layout, position of table, coluring etc. using something like PrettyTables.jl?

Any link to an actual example/guide would be very welcome, thanks 🙂

EDIT: Fixed question title and just wanted to show visually what it does:

Say if I want to color text green - how?
