Description

Proposal

It would be amazing to have an option to export the gt table as an .svg using the svglite package or something similar. This has also been asked by another user on Stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66782018/how-to-save-gt-table-as-svg

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the current export implementation for other formats (e.g., PNG) and integrate svglite to generate SVG output.
