Description

I have just switched to making my regression tables in export_summs and its working beautifully but the footnote is very long and doesn't seem to wrap, I think this is what is causing the wide gap between the penultimate and last columns. I am exporting to pdf to use in Latex. Not sure if I will need to use hux-reg options to output to latex and try and add threeparttable to make this work? Your examples seem to wrap fine so I am hoping I can do within jtools?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the long-footnote case through export_summs with PDF/LaTeX output, then compare it with the wrapping behavior shown in the examples. Done means the exported regression table wraps the footnote without creating the reported wide gap between the final columns.
