Hi all,
I am doing a LaTeX document with R, so .Rnw file, which I 'Sweave' to
get the .tex file I will 'LaTeX' to .pdf.
In that document, I want to include a small data.frame, let's call
`data`, therefore I use the xtable package and include something like
<<echo=FALSE,results=tex>>=
print(xtable(data))
@
One of the names of data is too long, let's say 'This column has a long
name' and I want it to be displayed in two rows. Therefore, among other
things, in the tex file the two rows should be separated by '\\', so it
should appear, for example, as 'This column\\ has a long name'.
If in the .Rnw file I include \\ in the name, it is (S)weaved to
$\backslash$. I I include \textbackslash, Sweave returns extbackslash.
Therefore, my question is how can I do to get column name in multiple
rows. I am open to use other packages than xtable, but I want this
working with Sweave (so no Rmarkdown/knitr solutions, please).
Thanks!
Iago
