Sweave schunk placement

Dear Professor Leisch + R helpers,
For the past few days I have been trying to figure out why the LaTeX
endfloat package is not working with Sweave. I figured it out, and
it's trivial: The endfloat package requires that \begin{table} and
\end{table} commands are on their own line. But Sweave is writing
LaTeX code like \end{table}\end{Schunk} which causes endfloat to
choke. Simply moving the code down to a new line like this:
\end{table}
\end{Schunk}
 fixes the problem, but it is annoying to do this for every table
everytime I re-run Sweave. I don't understand LaTeX that well, so I'd
be really grateful if someone can tell me how to modify Sweave.sty (or
another file if needed) so that the \end{Schunk}'s are written on new
lines.

Thanks,
Ista

I don't know how you are getting \end{table} printed, but ask for a 
newline after that.  (Sweave.sty plays no part in the production of the 
.tex file.  That is done completely by R code, some of which is written 
by the author of the document, i.e. you.)

Right, thanks. I feel a bit sheepish about asking the question now.
I'm using the latex function in the Hmisc package to generate the
tables, which is why it wasn't obvious to me that I just needed to
insert the new line myself.
Thanks,
Ista
