Last year Mark Difford offered code to do that.

Jim,

You need to use "underset," a LaTeX command. The bare-bones call is
$\underset{}{}$, where the underset value goes in the first curly and your
main value goes in the second curly (i.e. is typeset above the underset).

I don't use xtable but rather use [Ron:sic] Harrell's functions in Hmisc package,
then pass it through his latex() function, so can't take you further.

##
paste('$\\underset','{',data$SDs,'}','{',data$means,'}$', sep="")
#------------------

I sent Mark a correction at the time because it is Frank Harrell's package ... not Ron.

Frank's web page on literate program can be very useful.

I almost exclusively use fixed effect panel models, and the problem of exporting results to Latex is one of the things preventing me from switching entirely from Stata to R.
