I have to print readable factor analysis output in an Rmarkdown document (can ultimately be pdf, word or html), and I am having real trouble doing this. I had this problem here. I am running psych version 1.8.12.
Reproducible code is below, but I have also put up a github respository here:
Note, when I run results='markup' the pdf compiles, but the table is not readable: it prints the latex code. When I run results='asis', an error is returned ! LaTeX Error: \caption outside float.
I am much less familiar with the packages like kabel and texreg. Would those be an option? `

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
```
```{r}
library(psych)
```
```{r}
data('Thurstone')
```
```{r}
mod<-fa(Thurstone, 3)
```
```{r results='markup'}
fa2latex(mod)

if you want to output a table make sure to convert it to a dataframe first.
