flextable() function is producing flexible tables where each cell
can contain several chunks of text with their own set of formatting
properties (bold, font color, etc.). Function display lets customise
text of cells.
regulartable() function has been written because the first one is
ressource consumming. The main difference is that it is producing tables
where cells can contain only one chunk of text with its own set of formatting
properties. Function set_formatter is customizing text of cells.
regulartable is to be used in most of cases.
