Introduction

R2HTML is an R package, written and maintained by Eric Lecoutre currently maintained by me. It provides functions and methods to output different R objects to HTML files. It also has a Sweave driver to allow parsing of HTML files containing R code and automatically write the corresponding outputs.

Current released version: 1.59

Download source from CRAN: R2HTML_1.59.tar.gz.

This package is being maintained on Sourceforge.net now. Please check its project page on http://sourceforge.net/projects/r2html/ for latest development snapshots and package releases.

Todo List

• Add method for printing epitools objects, as suggested by Ulrike Grömping.
• Improvement of HTML.matrix(), which currently is generating invalid HTML code.
• Overall improvement of CSS used.
• As pointed out by Kurt Hornik, HTMLcore.R uses global variables and manipulates the user’s workspace, which is not a very recommended programming practice on R. A rewrite of the mechanism used to keep track of the .HTMLfile in use is needed, using, as suggested by Hornik, a dynamic variable inside the package.
