html: Convert an S object to HTML

Description

html is a generic function, for which only two methods are currently implemented, html.latex and a rudimentary html.data.frame. The former uses the HeVeA LaTeX to HTML translator by Maranget to create an HTML file from a LaTeX file like the one produced by latex. html.default just runs html.data.frame. htmlVerbatim prints all of its arguments to the console in an html verbatim environment, using a specified percent of the prevailing character size. This is useful for R Markdown with knitr.

Most of the html-producing functions in the Hmisc and rms packages return a character vector passed through htmltools::HTML so that kintr will correctly format the result without the need for the user putting results='asis' in the chunk header.

Usage

html(object, ...)
# S3 method for latex
html(object, file, where=c('cwd', 'tmp'),
  method=c('hevea', 'htlatex'),
  rmarkdown=FALSE, cleanup=TRUE, ...)
# S3 method for data.frame
html(object,
  file=paste(first.word(deparse(substitute(object))),'html',sep='.'), header,
     caption=NULL, rownames=FALSE, align='r', align.header='c',
     bold.header=TRUE, col.header='Black',
     border=2, width=NULL, size=100, translate=FALSE,
     append=FALSE, link=NULL, linkCol=1,
     linkType=c('href','name'), disableq=FALSE, ...) 
# S3 method for default
html(object,
     file=paste(first.word(deparse(substitute(object))),'html',sep='.'),
     append=FALSE, link=NULL, linkCol=1, linkType=c('href','name'), ...)
htmlVerbatim(..., size=75, width=85, scroll=FALSE, rows=10, cols=100,
             propts=NULL, omit1b=FALSE)

Examples

if (FALSE) {
x <- matrix(1:6, nrow=2, dimnames=list(c('a','b'),c('c','d','e')))
w <- latex(x)
h <- html(w) # run HeVeA to convert .tex to .html
h <- html(x) # convert x directly to html
w <- html(x, link=c('','B'))   # hyperlink first row first col to B

# Assuming system package tex4ht is installed, easily convert advanced
# LaTeX tables to html
getHdata(pbc)
s <- summaryM(bili + albumin + stage + protime + sex + age + spiders ~ drug,
              data=pbc, test=TRUE)
w <- latex(s, npct='slash', file='s.tex')
z <- html(w)
browseURL(z$file)

d <- describe(pbc)
w <- latex(d, file='d.tex')
z <- html(w)
browseURL(z$file)
