#' @title Print tables in different output formats
#' @name display.describe_posterior
#'
#' @description Prints tables (i.e. data frame) in different output formats.
#'
#' @param object,x An object returned by one of the package's function, for
#' example [`describe_posterior()`], [`point_estimate()`], or [`eti()`].
#' @param format String, indicating the output format. Can be `"markdown"`
#' `"html"`, or `"tt"`. `format = "tt"` creates a `tinytable` object, which is
#' either printed as markdown or HTML table, depending on the environment. See
#' [`insight::export_table()`] for details.
#' @param digits Integer, number of digits to round the table output. Defaults
#' to 2.
#' @param caption Character, caption for the table. If `NULL`, no caption is
#' added. By default, a caption is created based on the object type.
#' @param ... Arguments passed down to `print_html()` or `print_md()` (e.g.,
#' `digits`), or to `insight::export_table()`.
#'
#' @return If `format = "markdown"`, the return value will be a character
#' vector in markdown-table format. If `format = "html"`, an object of
#' class `gt_tbl`. If `format = "tt"`, an object of class `tinytable`.
#'
#' @details `display()` is useful when the table-output from functions, which is
#' usually printed as formatted text-table to console, should be formatted for
#' pretty table-rendering in markdown documents, or if knitted from rmarkdown
#' to PDF or Word files. See
#' [vignette](https://easystats.github.io/parameters/articles/model_parameters_formatting.html)
#' for examples.
