Charlies post made me aware that by "latex editor" you may mean that
there is no LaTeX installation on your machine. In that case Sweave
and xtable will obviously be of little use. If you have Openoffice on
that computer package odfWeave may be the solution. If openoffice is
not available, either, maybe package HTMLUtils would be another option
(I haven't used it so far, so I may be wrong here).
