flextable

Consider the above table, the feature request is to build functionality to create tables like this. Features that I don't believe are available yet but would enable something like this is:

• [ ] A function to replace as_flextable.lm that would create the regression output as a single column with standard errors below estimates.
  • [ ] Aligning the decimals between the coefficient-standard error pairs is possible but tedious. In Word and LaTeX, the best solution I know is to create one table environment for each pair, nested inside the larger table environment, then use the standard approach to align on decimal.
  • [ ] The function would allow for replacing groups of variables with a label (e.g. "9 Year-of-birth dummies") and value (e.g. "Yes").
• [ ] A function to bind_cols two such flextables (possibly could work now with the merge functions).
  • [ ] The function would insert the em dash in columns where a variable is missing.

The package that can currently do some of this is stargazer. However, one loses the great flexibility and nice grammar of flextable when using that.

I'm quite keen to help out on this if it's something you're interested in but don't know where to start.

Not sure that I should try that, do you know modelsummary? It seems exactly what you are looking for
