How to suppress stargazer() information in output file
I'm using the stargazer package to output an R dataframe as latex code:
library(stargazer)
stargazer(mtcars)
And this is the output

\end{table}
Note the output includes two lines of latex comments (top two lines, beginning %). How can I stop the top two lines (beginning %) from being outputted?

Answer
From version 4.0 onwards (available on CRAN now), you can run stargazer with the argument header=FALSE to omit the initial comments in your Latex code ouput.
