Proposal
Now gt generates only header of the table from the empty dataframe.
It would be nice to have an option to generate empty table in the way R studio shows empty dataframe - header with message in the body "No data available in table" (or preferably custom message).
I generate many automatic crosscheck dataframes that sometimes are empty.
(like samples that have combinations of features that shouldn't be present in dataset - potential errors in measurements or data collection).
I automate printing reports from these crosschecks.
When generating pdf, table with only header looks like error in LaTex - it suggests that something is not rendered there properly.
Message in the body "This query returned 0 results" would make it look much more not error-like.
