Does anyone out there use dcolumn=TRUE in the latex() function in the Hmisc library? I would like to line up the data in a latex table I'm making using latex(), but I'm having some issues with this feature. Since there is no description of it in the help, I thought that it might be incomplete or something like that. On a related note, if anyone knows how to get the end result I want (LaTeX table with data aligned by decimal point), I'd love to hear it. I have been having issues with this which I think might be related to the fact that I have std. errors enclosed in parentheses. Thanks, BQ
