Thanks Chuck,
I thoug= ht the same, especially since I found the tabular() function by looking at = Hmisc and rms documentation (both packages by Frank Harrell).
But as it turns out the latex method for objects of class tabular i= s defined in the table package and it has a much more limited set of option= s.
The upside is that I found the additional functions= margin.table and addmargins (I knew about prop.table) which are going to m= ake my life easier with R's tables.

I suggested xtable because that is what I often use.

But thinking a bit more, I decided to look at tables::tabular() and
at Hmisc::latex(), which I think is what you used at first.

And it turns out that latex() has args for caption, label, where, and
loads of other things. See its help page. So, it looks like you have the control you need and the ability to use

=C2=A0 latex( tabular(...), caption =3D <...>, label =3D <...>,= ...)

to good effect.

HTH,

Chuck
