For jspdf options see the documentation of jsPDF and jsPDF-AutoTable resp.

There is an extended setting for jsPDF option 'format'. Setting the option value to 'bestfit' lets the tableExport plugin try to choose the minimum required paper format and orientation in which the table (or tables in multitable mode) completely fits without column adjustment.

Also there is an extended setting for the jsPDF-AutoTable options 'fillColor', 'textColor' and 'fontStyle'. When setting these option values to 'inherit' the original css values for background and text color will be used as fill and text color while exporting to pdf. A css font-weight >= 700 results in a bold fontStyle and the italic css font-style will be used as italic fontStyle.

Optional html data attributes

(can be set while generating the table you want to export)

<table style="display:none;" data-tableexport-display="always">...</table> -> hidden table will be exported

<td style="display:none;" data-tableexport-display="always">...</td> -> hidden cell will be exported

<td data-tableexport-display="none">...</td> -> cell will not be exported

<tr data-tableexport-display="none">...</tr> -> all cells of this row will not be exported
