compute and apply optimized widths and heights (minimum estimated widths and heights for each table columns and rows in inches returned by function dim_pretty()).
This function is to be used when the table widths and heights should be adjusted to fit the size of the content.
The function does not let you adjust a content that is too wide in a paginated document. It simply calculates the width of the columns so that each content has the minimum width necessary to display the content on one line.
Note that this function is not related to 'Microsoft Word' Autofit feature.
There is an alternative to fixed-width layouts that works well with HTML and Word output that can be set with set_table_properties(layout = "autofit"), see set_table_properties().

unit for add_h and add_w, one of "in", "cm", "mm".
specifies how cells that are horizontally are included in the calculation. It must be one of the following values "none", "divided" or "included". If "none", widths of horizontally spanned cells is set to 0 (then do not affect the widths); if "divided", widths of horizontally spanned cells is divided by the number of spanned cells; if "included", all widths (included horizontally spanned cells) will be used in the calculation.
