Description
I'm working on a paper that includes many tables in an appendix section. Some tables are too large to be output on a single portrait-oriented page.
A standard practice in my field is to present tables in rotated format — not changing the portrait/landscape orientation of the page, but simply rotating the table.
I've looked around the Quarto documentation and can't find any hints as to how I might do this. Any help would be appreciated.

Done means providing a supported way to rotate a table independently of page orientation, with the behavior documented.
