How can you export a regression table from r with etable and without the table environment?

Question

Is there a way to export a regression table from r with the etable function (from the "fixest" package) without the table environment? Hence, the latex code should not start with \begin{table} but with \begin{tabular}.

I know that it is possible with xtable and stargazer, but what about etable?

Answer 1

By default, the table environment is not present in etable's Latex exports unless there is a caption. This is very likely a package version problem.

Here is a MRE with fixest 0.10.4:

base = setNames(iris, c("y", "x1", "x2", "x3", "species"))
est = feols(y ~ csw(x.[,1:3]), base)

etable(est, tex = TRUE)
#> \begingroup
#> \centering
#> \begin{tabular}{lccc}
#>    \tabularnewline \midrule \midrule
#>    Dependent Variable: & \multicolumn{3}{c}{y}\\
#>    Model:         & (1)           & (2)            & (3)\\

You could let latex add your note at the end of the table environment:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\AddToHook{env/table/end}{some note}

\begin{table}
first table
\end{table}

\RemoveFromHook{env/table/end}

\begin{table}
second table
\end{table}

\end{document}
