Model summary as a figure

[robjhyndman]

I'd like to include the output from a model summary (e.g., summary() applied to an lm object) as a figure in a quarto document. The following shows the output, but not within a figure environment or with a caption.

```{r}
#| label: fig-model
#| fig-cap: Fitted model
summary(lmobject)
```

You can't summary() produces text as output.
So you have to use external software to convert text into image.

PS: this is unrelated to Quarto.

if you are interested in cross-referencing (https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/cross-references.html#code-listings), below is a workaround for #1580 .

This is a playground for Quarto.

```{r}
#| attr-source: "id=lst-model lst-cap='Fitted model'"
1 + 1
```


See @lst-model.

Let me clarify: you can't currently do that in 1.3.

In 1.4, we're going to change the way cross-referenceable "artifacts" work, so that if you tell Quarto that something is a figure (or a table, etc), Quarto will believe you and go along, irrespective of the content.
