@pdeffebach I will appreciate if you can provide some feedback 🙂

> Hi! After a while, I finally added an initial version o LaTeX backend to [PrettyTables.jl](https://github.com/ronisbr/PrettyTables.jl). It is not published yet. Thus you will have to use dev. I want some feedback about it. Unfortunately there is not a documentation yet, but you can see the functions pretty\_tables and \_pt\_latex to see. I also added a nice feature to automatically add tables to files. For example, let’s say you have this LaTeX file: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{xcolor} \begin{document} The table~\ref{tab:table} i…

I have used PrettyTables in my [econometrics functions](https://github.com/mcreel/Econometrics), which gives a nice standardized appearance, and I love the highlighters. At the moment, I’m highlighting p-values, but I may find more uses. 👍

This is awesome! I am glad it is being useful 🙂

I’d like to format integers to be better readable, e.g. 1,234,567 instead of 1234567. Is that somehow possible with PrettyTables?

Yes! You can use the formatters with the correct configuration (see [Formatting.jl](https://github.com/JuliaIO/Formatting.jl)):

```julia
julia> data = rand(10,4)*1_000_000;

julia> pretty_table(data, formatters = ft_printf("%'f"))
