lm, lmer table printers #5

Why? There are already functions like knitr::kable, pander, kableExtra, etc. The main problem I have so far is that none of them work well when printing tables to microsoft word. The LaTeX and HTML solutions are quite good, but sometimes I need to produce the same document in multiple formats, or switch to another format depending on the journal.

I am thinking of something like build_table as a class with methods for lm, lmer, and brms. It would be a wrapper around kable + kableExtra for LaTeX and flextable for word. You could switch between formats with an argument like latex = TRUE, similar to the print_model_param functions.
