[R] How to make a Latex table using R

[Luca Cerone]

Hi Liao,
I think that the purpose of the package is actually to create the
latex code to insert into Latex documents.
If you want to see it displayed you have to compile it with latex; the
document you have sent says that that is a gallery to show
the different kind of tables you can create.
