You have an extra "+" in there.  The tables vignette is written in
Sweave, which displays prompts like those in the R console.  You don't
want to include them in cut-and-paste versions of the code.

To change "All" to some other string, you could use Heading():


tabular( (Species + Heading("Todos")*1) ~ (n=1) + Format(digits=2)*
         (Sepal.Length + Sepal.Width)*(mean + sd), data=iris )

                Sepal.Length      Sepal.Width
 Species    n   mean         sd   mean        sd
 setosa      50 1.00         0.35 1.00        0.38
 versicolor  50 1.00         0.52 1.00        0.31
 virginica   50 1.00         0.64 1.00        0.32
 Todos      150 1.00         0.83 1.00        0.44

If you want to change the labels used for each level of the Species
variable, you would use the "levelnames" argument to Factor() or one of
the related functions.
