This function is a general function to create a xtable suitable for documentation, or directly creates an compiles a
latex file using the R3port package. The align argument can be used to change the column widths of a table to be able to fit a table
on a page (e.g. in latex wide tables can fall off a page). The way this should be used is to provide a vector of one with
a specification for each column. For example lp{3cm}r can be used for left align first column, second column of 3 cm
and third column right aligned. In case align is set to NULL a default alignment is used
