Thanks Chuck,
I thought 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 is
defined in the table package and it has a much more limited set of options.
The upside is that I found the additional functions margin.table and
addmargins (I knew about prop.table) which are going to make my life easier
with R's tables.
Cheers,
Andreas
