Hello.

I wrote  a library(tex), it may be not as clean as a write.table(...,
format="LaTeX"), but it is quite powerful, I think. 

It takes the colnames as default, extra (and rotated) headers are possible
(also grouping the header over some cols), grouping the body automatically
by inserting clines if a value in selected cols changes, using longtable,
booktabs, rotating, adjusting cols at the decimal comma (german, but to use
comma or point to split is a thing on the TeX-side)... the result is written
to stdout or to a file.

possible options are:

textable <- function(data,
                     caption="",
		     header=NA, headerunits=NA, # a list would be better 
		     xheader=NA, 
		     rotlab=NA,rotlabheight="6em",
		     label="", sepcols=NA,
                     kommata=NA, nosplit=integer(0),
                     file=NULL, na.mask=T, sideways=F,
		     tabletype="normal",
                     arraystretch=NA
	             ){

The code is weird, it's one the way to be rewritten. So it could be a good
time to do it clean as write.table... I'll try to start next week. 

Bye,
Knut
