Indeed, xtable now has a namespace. The S3 methods are not exported because they should not be called directly; rather, the generic function (in this case print) should be called. The addition of the namespace is really a good. Yes, it will cause some hicups for folks who were calling the methods directory (tsk tsk). But the addition fixes breakage that was occuring due to internal xtable helper functions being masked. + seth -- Seth Falcon | Computational Biology | Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center BioC: http://bioconductor.org/ Blog: http://userprimary.net/user/ ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
