Not as far as I know. The output has a number of sections with different 
layouts so I think writing a general function to specify how to format 
each one would be unwieldy. You could always extract the parts you need 
ad use xtable() for instance as many of them are data.frames or ould be 
coerced to data frames.

I do not see a cluster() function in metafor. Do you mean robust()? If 
you do perhaps you could specify exactly which part of the documentation 
you do not understand as people can help you better.
