Just a follow-up,
by giving names with variable amounts of white space, I could make the
column and rownames
invisible (although this is probably abusing the mechanisms, however,
this is only for
display purposes, I suppose).
dd <- data.frame(c1 = c("Heading 1", "", "Heading 2", ""),
c2 = c("This is some info", "about heading 1", "This is some info",
"about heading "))
names(dd) <- c(" ", " ")
rownames(dd) <- c(" ", " ", " ", " ")
dd
Heading 1 This is some info
about heading 1
Heading 2 This is some info
about heading
