Looks like a simple bug in Hmisc, leaving out that space. I'd grab a copy of the source, fix it, and send a patch to the maintainer (Charles Dupont <charles.dup...@vanderbilt.edu>, who is cc'd). Or, if you don't know how to do that, just write to the maintainer. Your example should be sufficient for him to find and fix it. But then you'll have to wait until he has time...

Running R 2.11.1, LaTeX on WinXP, via Sweave.

A drop1() object from a glm() produces, as part of its output, a string that
looks like this:

<none>

The trouble I run into is  that running latex() on a drop1() object from
glm() produces a string that looks like this in the generated .tex file:

\textlessnone\textgreater

This gives an "undefined control sequence" error when compiling  the .tex
file. I can just<ENTER>  past the error, but the resulting .pdf file
contains just a greater-than symbol in the table where<none>  is supposed to
appear.

If I go into the .tex file and manually insert a space, changng it to

\textless none\textgreater

the document compiles fine.

Reproducile example below. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Here is some problem code.
