Hi Prof. Harrell, Originally, I was thinking that by putting tables (especially those long tables) into separate .tex files would make my 'big' .tex file more organized (i.e. rather than having an one giant .tex file). But now I'm having a second thought, b/c I don't really have to worry how my 'big' .tex file looks, as it's just a intermediate and I'll do all my editing in the .Rnw file. So, I think I'll use the latex(x, file="") method more. This also will make my working directory cleaner.
Thank you very much! ...Tao ----- Original Message ---- > From: Frank E Harrell Jr <f.harr...@vanderbilt.edu> > To: r-help@r-project.org > Sent: Wed, May 12, 2010 4:28:20 PM > Subject: Re: [R] a question about "latex" in Hmisc > > On 05/12/2010 03:33 PM, Shi, Tao wrote: > Hi Ista, > > Thanks > for the reply! > > You actually misunderstood me.
