Thanks, Dieter, for your response shown below.

dfr <- data.frame(x=rnorm(20),y=sample(c('male','female'),20,TRUE))
cnt <- contents(dfr)
latex(cnt,label="tab:mytab",caption="This is a caption")
The problem is that I only want to display cnt[1] - I am simply making a
table that shows the structure of a dataframe, and I do not want the
variable levels from contents.

When I execute your example, it does work, but if I change it to
latex(cnt[1]...) then the caption and label do not work because
latex.list() is executed.

What we really need is a latex method for contents. As I usually
include latex(describe(mydata), file='') in an Sweave report I haven't
needed this. If any others need it I'll probably write
latex.contents.data.frame. In the meantime you can take the object
produced by contents( ) and remove the value levels components, then
pass the smaller object to latex().
