R help - Aug 2008 - Is there any way to make pretty tables in R to pdf?

Hi, all,

All your comments have been very useful.  I was wondering if there was  
a package that can make pretty R tables to pdf.  I guess I could use  
xtable, but I would like something a little more elegant.  Your input  
is greatly appreciated.

Best wishes,
Art

Hi Arthur,

You got through TeX/LateX, but PDF could be your terminus. Package Hmisc:

? summary.formula

and its various arguments and options. You can't get much better.
