Suggestion for Latex Output

[shivaway]

This for the future Latex enhanced version.

Please include a raw output for already formatted Latex. As an engineer I need to generally show the units of a variable. I generally use the units package and have create a deparseing routine to convert into true latex expressions for tables. For example

2 gallon/min (as using the units package) would deparse to the following Latex string
2\frac{gallon}{min}. I would like to be able to pass this string to any part of the table (as units are everywhere) without reparsing the string.

However, I would also love to not have to worry about parsing if something were written within the latex portion of the code for the most part. I guess an option to deal with it would be great. This is similar to xtable using the sanitization.text.function to clean up latex.

There are now special functions for dealing with measurement units (in the dev version of the package). It works across different table output formats too.
