[R] customizing the number of decimal places in xtable: RESOLVED

[Ogbos Okike]

Dear Jeff,

Thank you please.

I did search before but could not get it resolved. But with your query now,
just typed ?xtable as key  search word and the first document I opened gave
an indication of digits. Without knowing what it was saying, I tried it in
my data and it gave the result I have been looking for.

xtable(data, digits=12) and I am fine.

Thank you so much.
