qflextable()

Quickly create a flextable with fixed layout and autofit column widths.

qflextable() is a shortcut for producing a ready-to-use flextable with a fixed table layout and automatically fitted column widths. It is equivalent to calling flextable(), set_table_properties(layout = "fixed"), and autofit() in sequence.

Use qflextable() when you want a sensible default table for quick reporting without manual sizing.
