Summary:
print.xtable prints dates as numerics in data.frames

Detailed description
I'm not sure whether this is a bug of a feature request, but a feature request feels more constructive :) A minimal reproducible example: library(xtable) a= data.frame(a = as.Date("2016-09-29")) print(xtable(a)) This will print 17073.00 rather than the date. A conversion using as.character is a work around but somewhat cumbersome. Can xtable be changed to print the above as a date rather than numeric? Can I help making this happen? Thanks
