taf2html: Convert TAF Table to HTML

Description

Convert a data frame to HTML code and optionally write to a file.

Usage

taf2html(x, file = "", align = "", header = align,
  digits = getOption("digits"), center = "style=\"text-align:center\"",
  left = "style=\"text-align:left\"",
  right = "style=\"text-align:right\"", append = FALSE)

Value

Character vector of class Bibtex.

Arguments

x: a data frame.
file: a filename, or special value "".
align: a string (or a vector of strings) specifying alignment of data cells.
header: a string (or a vector strings) specifying alignment of header cells.
digits: significant digits for numeric columns.
center: HTML attribute to indicate center alignment.
left: HTML attribute to indicate left alignment.
right: HTML attribute to indicate right alignment.
append: whether to append to an existing file.

Details

The align argument can be a vector of strings to specify column-specific alignment, for example c("l","r","l","l"). Only the first letter (case-insensitive) is used, so "left" is equivalent to "L". An empty string (the default), or any string that does not begin with C, L, or R indicates no specific alignment.

The header argument can be used to specify an alignment for the column names that is different from the data values. The default is to use the same alignment as the data values.

The center, left, and right arguments can be used to specify the exact HTML attribute to render alignment, for users who are familiar with cascading style sheets (CSS). For example, the long-winded style="text-align:center" could be shortened to class="L" if a corresponding class has been defined in CSS.

The default value file = "" prints the HTML code in the console, instead of writing it to a file. The output can then be pasted into a file to edit further, without accidentally overwriting an existing file.

Examples

Run this code

taf2html(catage.taf)
taf2html(catage.taf, align=c("L","R","R","R","R"))

if (FALSE) {
taf2html(catage.taf, "catage.html")
taf2html(catage.taf, "catage.html", align=c("L","R","R","R","R"),
         append=TRUE)
}
