Hi Nils,
A bit off-topic, but some people have been toying with the idea of a "grammar of tables" (in the same vein as the "grammar of graphics" that ggplot2 succesfully implements). That would probably be the best abstraction to represent the different features of estout
. Sadly, no one has written anything like it (AFAIK) :(
That is an amazing idea, Sergio. I wonder what Hadley Wickham thinks of it. Thanks for this.
I think frmttable
by John Luke Gallup goes a bit in this direction (see http://www.stata-journal.com/article.html?article=sg97_5).
Re "diagram": good idea, but no time right now... sorry
I still find myself getting mixed up between groups, models, equations, columns, etc. A diagram showing all the various things that can be edited by users might be the best way to convey this.
