I found that package quantreg has created a new generic for latex() [I wish it hadn't; this has been a generic in Hmisc for almost 2 decades]. When I require(quantreg) after loading rms, latex(anova.rms object) dispatches latex.default, but everything is fine if I don't load quantreg. rms has import(Hmisc) in NAMESPACE and is loaded before quantreg, hence the conflict. How do I make the generic from Hmisc take precedence? Thanks Frank
