Hi Peter Sorry I must have been reading too much into your email. I had thought that either latex or xtable packages handled summaries effectively. I have not really got into summaries in Sweave.
I do not know whether SweaveListingUtils may help. I had a look at it but I did not have the time to properly set it up so have left it for another time. There was one post about the querieng the length of the verbatim text in Sweave being cut off or not wrapping but I did not see a reply. I would like to know too Regards Duncan At 12:16 19/08/2009, you wrote: >Thanks Duncan > >Yes, I use xtable and co. > >But here, I am talking about the verbatim output from R, no LaTeX code at >all.
