[R] printing tabular data nicely

[Marcus Davy]

Hi,
If you choose to use LaTeX and xtable, you can also enhance the visual
presentation
of the output tables using the booktab LaTeX package. Have a look at:

You can change the horizontal line tags \hline to \toprule, \midrule,
and \bottomrule, at your discretion. 
There was also a recent thread about rownames quirks with xtable:

As Sundar said, xtable is probably what you want.  You may also
benefit from the fairly new "addmargins" function.
