broom 0.7.0 is out today!

Sure, it's no big deal to implement it.

Note that recently a broom method has been implemented for fixest objects by @karldw (see #21). It allows to leverage generalist methods to export estimation results. Notably the excellent modelsummary.

Currently, it's only included in broom's development version, but before it gets to CRAN the following code should work:

library(broom) ; library(dplyr) ; library(modelsummary)
source("https://github.com/tidymodels/broom/blob/master/R/fixest-tidiers.R?raw=true")
source("https://github.com/tidymodels/broom/blob/master/R/utilities.R?raw=true")

library(fixest)
est = feols(Sepal.Lengthy ~ Sepal.Width + Petal.Length | Species, iris)
modelsummary(est)

Hi! Thanks for the great package!

I know that users can readily add notes under a table, but the formatting seems to be an issue (at least for me). I compile PDF directly from Rmd so it would be ideal to create a perfect table without having to fix them separately in a .tex file. Having said that, I found that under the current version, the alignment of the note text is governed by the alignment command for the table itself (so center aligned) and the font size seems to be identical to that of the main table body text, which could be too big for a note. I've quickly reviewed the tex output from other packages and it seems that implementing multicolumn can be a potential solution. Would it be possible to add this formatting feature to the notes argument? Thank you for your consideration!
