I am trying to incorporate a print method for flat tables into the
package xtable which I maintain.
To format the flat table before printing, I wish to use format.ftable
from the base package stats.
This is unfortunately not exported, so R CMD check --as-cran produces a
warning because I access that function using stats:::format.ftable.
So, having read the thread about this problem, I think I should copy the
function into my package. I do that, and declare format.ftable as an S3
format method. Now I get a different warning:
Registered S3 method from a standard package overwritten by 'xtable':
method from
format.ftable stats
I am at a loss. Any suggestions?
