Hi Charles,
This looks great, I'll try it out later today.
Any chance that more automated multicolumn headers will be added in a future
version? I know you can do it using the add.to.row argument, but it would be
great to have an automated way using something like cgroup and n.cgroup in
Hmisc:latex.
Best,
Ista
