`tinytable` not turning off with `latex_tabular` after `config_modelsummary(factory_default = "kableExtra")`

[chickymonkeys]

Hi there,

I have been hitting my head on this for some hours and I cannot really figure it out. I would like to have old behaviour of modelsummary back, avoiding drawing tables tinytable and the tabularray package when exporting in LaTeX. I have set as indicated in the changelog for 2.0.0 config_modelsummary(factory_default = "kableExtra") but, while when setting output = "latex" it correctly draws a tabular table instead of a tabularray's one, when setting output = "latex_tabular" it keeps drawing with tabularray.

Reproducible example:

library(modelsummary)
library(fixest)
options(modelsummary_format_numeric_latex = "plain")

results <- list(
  feols(mpg ~ cyl, data = mtcars),
  feols(mpg ~ cyl + hp, data = mtcars)
)
msummary(results, output = "latex_tabular")

\begin{tblr}[         %% tabularray outer open
]                     %% tabularray outer close
{                     %% tabularray inner open
colspec={Q[]Q[]Q[]},
column{1}={halign=l,},
column{2}={halign=c,},
column{3}={halign=c,},
hline{8}={1,2,3}{solid, 0.05em, black},
}                     %% tabularray inner close

Thanks for your help!

config_modelsummary(factory_default) affects the output format when output="default".

config_modelsummary(factory_latex) affects the output format when output="latex"

This is documented in ?config_modelsummary

[chickymonkeys]

also setting factory_latex to kableExtra with the config function does not restore the behaviour in latex_tabular

[vincentarelbundock]

Right, but following the same logic you can do:

library(modelsummary)
m1 <- lm(mpg ~ hp, mtcars)
options(modelsummary_factory_default = "latex_tabular")
options(modelsummary_factory_latex_tabular = "kableExtra")
modelsummary(m1)

[vincentarelbundock]

oops, right, there's no latex_tabular argument in config_modelsummary(). You can just use the options() then.
