When I generate a LaTeX table using xtable I have been setting column names to strings with LaTeX code in order to get features like subscripts in the column headings. I recently had to reinstall xtable and discovered that all my LaTeX column headings were printing out in LaTeX code rather than with LaTeX formatting. For example, with the older xtable I could give my column a name something like "$A_b$" to get printed column heading of "A" with the subscript "b." Now my printed column heading is "$A_b$" and the LaTeX code in the .tex file generated by Sweave is "\$A\_b\$". It seems that the newest version of print.xtable takes all my LaTeX special characters and inserts backslashes, making LaTeX print the special characters rather than interpreting them.
Is there a way to keep xtable from "fixing" my column names like this? Is there another (maybe better) way to get nicely LaTeX formatted column headings from xtable?
