I had forgotten about this entry and the job that prompted it, and your note made me re-read it. The thing looks rather arcane without that context. Some posts seem made for the one reader who comes to them with a problem already in mind, and that problem just happens to fit. I'm glad you found it useful.

I am an epidemiologist looking for a way to "fine tune" the titles in a series of life table graphs produced inside nested for each... as follows. foreach outcome in ... (list of 14 vars!) { foreach independent_variable in (list of 8 vars!) { ltable... , graph } } Currently I've got the title to show variable names but that is not detailed enough, and of course contains lots of underscores !! I can apply your ideas to create something better looking. Thanks again for sharing and also for providing the code for your specific example. Much appreciated. Thanks for this.
