lavaanExtra 0.1.x

nice_tidySEM: New argument to hide covariances: hide_cov (defaults to FALSE).

CRAN release: 2023-02-04

Breaking changes:
- We remove the copied/reexported save_as_docx and the like in favour of explicitly calling flextable::save_as_docx. This way we are not creating namespace conflicts for these functions, we are consistent with the new approach in rempsyc, and it also gives credit to the flextable package, as this is the powerhouse that produces the tables under the hood.
- nice_fit now requires a list of models (or a single model), so it will not accept models loosely provided in the function as different arguments. This is because we get rid of the dot-dot-dot ... argument in favour of supporting list objects.
nice_fit now has an added footnote reference to Schreiber et al. (2006) for fit indices references when using nice_table = TRUE.

nice_fit: gains a model.labels argument to customize the model names in the table.

lavaan_ind gains an argument, underscores_to_arrows, to replace underscores by arrows for the indirect effect column, so that indirect effects are more quickly visually interpretable.
nice_tidySEM: More meaningful error message when providing unmatching label names.
nice_fit look improved when using nice_table = TRUE

CRAN release: 2022-10-04

rempsyc package dependency is now on CRAN, so we can rely on it normally now (yeah!).
Adding test coverage (100% so far!).
Preparing for CRAN.

Added new function: nice_tidySEM, for a quick and decent-looking tidySEM plot with sensical (but customizable) defaults.

write_lavaan: Exciting news! Automatic indirect effects now seemingly support any combination of IV, moderator, and DV!

write_lavaan: Automatic indirect effects now support another scenario: two mediators and three IVs!

Added new function: nice_lavaanPlot, for a quick and decent-looking lavaanPlot with sensical (but customizable) defaults.
write_lavaan: Automatic indirect effects now support another scenario: two mediators and two IVs!

write_lavaan: Fixed bug with automatic indirect effects when more than 1 mediator making forbidden paths (two mediators tested successfully)

cfa_fit_plot:
- Adds ellipsis to pass any desired argument to lavaan::cfa, and thus removes the default missing = "fiml" which was causing a bug with estimator = DWLS.
- Changes the default from saving to PDF to opening in RStudio Viewer, and adds an additional save.as.pdf argument to save as PDF.
- Now imports flextable::save_as_docx (and save_as_html, save_as_image, save_as_pptx…) to support saving the nice_fit tables to Word without having to explicitly load flextable or rempsyc.
- Added package logo!

Added new function: cfa_fit_plot to simultaneously print, save, and plot the CFA results.

Added new arguments/symbols: constraint.equal (==), constraint.smaller (<), constraint.larger (>), custom (accepts a single, lavaan-like string)
