R help - Dec 2009 - Frequency tables.

Hi All,

I'm a SAS user but I'm very much interested in learning R.

I use ODS system in SAS to make nice frequency tables. Is it possible to
export the output of table() [in TABULAR FORM]? So, that I can use those
directly for publications? Thank you.

# R Code:
library(datasets)
Orange
summary(Orange) # outputing this, not as it is, but in table for. is it
possible?

There are a variety of packages that help format output using either
LaTeX or html. I've grown to prefer the latex() function in the Hmisc
packages, but you might also be interested in xtable (can output
either to LaTeX or html), R2html, or prettyR.
