[R-SIG-Finance] digits and as.perc arguments in table.Arbitrary in PerformanceAnalytics

[Peter Carl]

Text-only emails are preferred on this list.  In fact, I'm not sure R code
will run if it's typed in comic sans.

But to get to the core question, no.  There's no way to anticipate which
numbers need to be formatted which way in that particular function.  You
can take a look at Hmisc::format.df, which does the job once you know what
you want.  There's probably an example in textplot or one of the other
table.* functions.
