[R] R table as integrable object for large Latex Documents - avoiding SWeave

[Ista Zahn]

There is grid.table in the gridExtra package
(http://code.google.com/p/gridextra/wiki/tableGrob), but for thesis
tables I think you're better off trying to solve the difficulties
you've been having with xtable. I can also recommend the latex
function in the Hmisc package, which makes it easier to do things like
specify row and column groups.

Best,
Ista
