Conflict between xtable and Hmisc when using Sweave? 2005-05-16 - By Sander Oom
Dear David,
I would like to use summarize(Hmisc) and print.xtable(xtable) in a
single Sweave document, but a conflict with the 'label' function
prohibits this at the moment!
Would you be able to correct the conflicting code? I will gladly test
the new package!
I have tried latex(Hmisc) to export the anova table, but results are not
promising! I prefer xtable!!
Thanks,
Sander.
