1 Summary
This document gives a gallery of tables which can be made by using the xtable
package to create LATEX output. It doubles as a regression check for the package.

Sometimes you might want to have your own sanitization function

> wanttex <- xtable(data.frame(label = paste("Value_is $10^{-",
+ 1:3, "}$", sep = "")))

> print(wanttex, sanitize.text.function = function(str) gsub("_",

+ "\\_", str, fixed = TRUE))

label
1 Value is 10−1
2 Value is 10−2
3 Value is 10−3

3.1 Markup in tables

Markup can be kept in tables, including column and row names, by using a
custom sanitize.text.function:

> mat <- round(matrix(c(0.9, 0.89, 200, 0.045, 2), c(1, 5)), 4)
> rownames(mat) <- "$y_{t-1}$"
> colnames(mat) <- c("$R^2$", "$\\bar{R}^2$", "F-stat", "S.E.E",
+ "DW")
> mat <- xtable(mat)

> print(mat, sanitize.text.function = function(x) {

+ x
+ })

R2 R̄2 F-stat S.E.E DW

yt−1 0.90 0.89 200.00 0.04 2.00

You can also have sanitize functions that are specific to column or row names.
In the table below, the row name is not sanitized but column names and table
elements are:
> money <- matrix(c("$1,000", "$900", "$100"), ncol = 3, dimnames = list("$\\alpha$",
+ c("Income (US$)", "Expenses (US$)", "Profit (US$)")))

> print(xtable(money), sanitize.rownames.function = function(x) {

+ x
+ })

4.10 Sideways tables

Remember to insert \usepackage{rotating} in your LaTeX preamble. Side-
ways tables can’t be forced in place with the ‘H’ specifier, but you can use the
\clearpage command to get them fairly nearby. See Table 5.
