Hi!
I just want to announce that I pushed a set of commits to make [PrettyTables.jl](https://github.com/ronisbr/PrettyTables.jl) support HTML output. I would like to have some feedback and help in testing (I am no HTML expert…). **Notice that you will need to use `master` branch**.
Initially, I thought I could have a generic function that can print to text and HTML. However, this is **very** difficult do accomplish due to the differences between both environments. For example, in HTML, you can change font family, but you cannot do that in text mode. Thus, I decided to have similar, but different configurations parameters for each back-end. This means that apart from the basic configuration, you cannot just change the back-end, you will need to change the configuration parameters as well. Maybe in the future we can design and API to translate between both.
Here is a screenshot of a Jupyter notebook using the HTML backend. Of course, you can also save the output to a .html file.
I tried to make this very configurable. You can virtually print the table anyway you like, because you can provide custom css to be added.
