Alternative display and output formats
In the documentation, we have presented the output from MixedModels.jl in the same format you will see when working in the REPL. You may have noticed, however, that output from other packages received pretty printing. For example, DataFrames are converted into nice HTML tables. In MixedModels.jl, we recently (v3.2.0) introduced limited support for such pretty printing. (For more details on how the print and display system in Julia works, check out this NextJournal post.)
In particular, we have defined Markdown, HTML and LaTeX output, i.e. show methods, for our types. Note that the Markdown output can also be easily and more flexibly translated into HTML, LaTeX (e.g. with booktabs) or even a MS Word Document using tools such as pandoc. Packages like IJulia and Documenter can often detect the presence of these display options and use them automatically.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────This brevity is intentional: we wanted these types to work well with traditional academic publishing constraints on tables. The summary for a model fit presented in the REPL does not mesh well with being treated as a single table (with columns shared between the random and fixed effects). In our experience, this leads to difficulties in typesetting the resulting tables. We nonetheless encourage users to report fit statistics such as the log likelihood or AIC as part of the caption of their table. If the correlation parameters in the random effects are of interest, then VarCorr can also be pretty printed:
VarCorr(kbm)| Column | Variance | Std.Dev | Corr. | |||

| subj | (Intercept) | 101742.4715 | 318.9710 | |||

Similarly for the likelihood ratio test, the χ² is escaped into math mode. This transformation improves pdfLaTeX and journal compatibility, but also means that XeLaTeX and LuaTeX may use a different font at this point.
