simple_df_to_latex

Render a simple LaTeX table from a flat DataFrame.

• First column (e.g., ‘Model’) is treated as the row label

• Other columns contain either scalars or list-like values (e.g. [0.82, 0.84, 0.85])

• Automatically formats values as mean ± std or stderr

• Optionally highlights best values per column (min or max)
