+[The `DT` package](https://rstudio.github.io/DT/) is an interface to [the JavasScript DataTables library.](https://datatables.net/) We can create a `DT` table by using the `output` argument, and pass arguments to `modelsummary()` which will be passed forward to the `DT::datatable` to customize the output of the table. For example, let's use the `fixest` package to estimate multiple linear regression models, and the `DT` package to create a table with a "frozen" first column:

 If you want to apply the same post-processing functions to your tables, you can use `modelsummary`'s theming functionality. To do so, we first create a function to post-process a table. This function must accept a table as its first argument, and include the ellipsis (`...`). Optionally, the theming function can also accept an `hrule` argument which is a vector of row positions where we insert horizontal rule, and an `output_format` which allows output format-specific customization. For inspiration, you may want to consult the default `modelsummary` themes in the [`themes.R` file of the Github repository.](https://github.com/vincentarelbundock/modelsummary)
