[R] [External] Re: Package recommendations for outputting table with cell formatting

[Richard M. Heiberger]

To John and everyone else,

Please add Hmisc::latex to your  how-to-make-beautiful-tables-in-r document.
We first included latex() in S in 1995, and it is still actively
maintained and improved.

Here are the first few lines of ?latex

Convert an S object to LaTeX, and Related Utilities

Description:

     ‘latex’ converts its argument to a ‘.tex’ file appropriate for
     inclusion in a LaTeX2e document.  ‘latex’ is a generic function
     that calls one of ‘latex.default’, ‘latex.function’, ‘latex.list’.

     ‘latex.default’ does appropriate rounding and decimal alignment
     and produces a file containing a LaTeX tabular environment to
     print the matrix or data.frame ‘x’ as a table.

     ‘latex.function’ prepares an S function for printing by issuing
     ‘sed’ commands that are similar to those in the ‘S.to.latex’
     procedure in the ‘s.to.latex’ package (Chambers and Hastie, 1993).
     ‘latex.function’ can also produce ‘verbatim’ output or output that
     works with the ‘Sweavel’ LaTeX style at <URL:
