[R] What's "latex" for?

[v.demart@libero.it]

As an R absolute beginner when I update my R 1.8.1, after installing
the packages I see the various updated commands orderly running in a
table on the screen where, among other things, "latex" and "example"
are indicated.

1) Being an old user of latex what **exactly** the "latex" label on a
command mean and how, in what context, can it be used?

2) How can I see the same table running on the screen /or at least the
same info while not updating?
