Create Tables with Variable Labels #74

Is it possible to create tables using the dataframe's variable labels instead of the variable names? This would be useful when using qsummary() to generate automatic/default tables without manually setting variable display names.

I would expect the answer is yes. However, before I can give a definitive answer I would like to see a reproducible example of what you are looking for. My only experience with using variable labels in a data.frame relies on either the Hmisc or setting a attribute "label" for each element of the data frame explicitly. If you are using some other set up for variable labels I would like to know.

Hi I believe my inspiration for this enhancement came from this usage explained for sjPlot:

@dewittpe
use attr(*, "label") to set names of rgroup
886c00a 
Prior to this change only the variable name would be used to label the
row groups for `qsummary` and `summary_table`

This change looks to see if the attribute "label" has been set for a
variable in the data frame and uses that instead of the variable name.
If the attribute is NULL then the variable name will be used.  Examples
to follow.

@hectormz : I have added to the qsummary call to use the label attribute, if it exists, on the data frame for building summary tables. An example as been added to the vignette as well. The update has been pushed to CRAN for qwraps2 version 0.4.2.
