The thousands separator does not appear to be working for coefficients and standard errors in the maketables package (version 0.1.7). Here are the details:
The following line works perfectly when there is no thousands separator:
coef_fmt="b:.2f* \n (se:.2f)"
But if I try to add the thousands separator (following line) I only get a comma before the decimal and coefficients and standard errors are no longer rounded to two decimals either.
coef_fmt="b:,.2f* \n (se:,.2f)"
I should note that I am using the above line of code inside Etable() function. That is, maketables.Etable(....coef_fmt="b:,.2f* \n (se:,.2f)"....).
