I use PrettyTables to format the printing of [structs](https://github.com/itsdfish/SequentialSamplingModels.jl/blob/83b422ce0130473558263c74dba2cc497a293903/src/utilities.jl#LL3C1-L3C1). It works in the REPL, but not in my documentation. The problem occurs in the subsection called [create model object.](https://itsdfish.github.io/SequentialSamplingModels.jl/dev/aDDM/#Create-Model-Object) I was wondering if anyone might now why its not working.

because you had
```julia
::MIME"text/plain",
```
you want to remove this or make one for `text/html`

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, that did not have the desired effect: The output field is now gone in the docs.
Additionally, in the REPL, text/plain produces:
```julia
julia> aDDM()
aDDM
┌───────────┬───────┐
│ Parameter │ Value │
├───────────┼───────┤
│ ν1 │ 5.00 │
│ ν2 │ 4.00 │
│ α │ 1.00 │
│ z │ 0.00 │
│ θ │ 0.30 │
│ σ │ 0.02 │
│ Δ │ 0.00 │
└───────────┴───────┘
```
With the change to text/html, it now prints
```julia
julia> aDDM()
aDDM{Float64, Float64, Float64, Float64, Float64, Float64, Float64}(ν1=5.0, ν2=4.0, α=1.0, z=0.0, θ=0.3, σ=0.02, Δ=0.0004)
```

you need both, in REPL you need `text/plain`, for Documenter.jl I BELIEVE you need `text'html`
but I guess not, what about remove MIME argument and just let `pretty_table()` handle it?

I tried removing MIME, but that did not work either. I noticed that the docs for prettytable use images to display output. So it seems that it doesn’t work with Documenter.jl.

You are not printing to the `io` it looks like.

Thank you. That was the problem. I passed `io` to `pretty_table(io,...)`.
Thank jling for your help too!
