I believe you then need to tweak the sanitize.text.function argument in
print.xtable() to properly handle the backslashes.
HTH,

Thanks, Marc.
I modified the code as follows:
foo.df$Std.Dev <-
paste("$\\pm$", round(mySD,2), sep="")
tmpTable <-
xtable(foo.df, caption ="Simulated data",
label="tab:five", digits=2)
print(tmpTable, caption.placement="top",
sanitize.text.function= function(x){x})
which result in a .tex file like
......
\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\caption{Simulated data}
\label{tab:five}
\begin{tabular}{rrl}
\hline
& Mean & Std.Dev \\
\hline
1 & 0.46 & $\pm$0.42 \\
2 & 0.81 & $\pm$0.69 \\
3 & 0.17 & $\pm$0.56 \\
4 & 0.15 & $\pm$1.02 \\
5 & 0.60 & $\pm$1.37 \\
6 & 0.48 & $\pm$1.39 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}\end{document}
so it seems that there's no need to tweak the sanitize.text.function
Thanks again.
