R help - Dec 2010 - Forcing standard notation in Sweave tables

I'm hoping someone with some experience generating tables in Sweave will be
able to solve this problem for me. I'm experiencing some inconsistency with
the way floating point numbers are displayed -- for some tables, they will be in
standard notation, e.g.


11±26


while in others, it uses exponential notation, e.g.


1.1e+01±2.6e+01



I am using code such as the following; note I have specified
"digits=2". There does not appear to be an argument for notation.


latex(tabletwo,
file='',
where='!h',
digits=2,
prmsd=TRUE,
caption='Time to events',
exclude1=FALSE,
long=TRUE)



This has been driving me insane for a couple hours now, so I'm hoping there
is an easy answer.


Thanks in advance,
cf

Take a look at package xtable.
