Details

Produce a report from a list of R objects. This function can be used directly, or through a Report object (see examples). Report$new() creates a new object, Report$create() produce a report. Exportation options can be specified with Report$nameoftheoption <- option or directly in Report$create(nameoftheoption = option).

Special objects can be used to create sections (see ?section), paragraphs (see ?paragraph), verbatim environment (see ?verbatim and to insert figures (see ?fig) or inline results (see ?sexpr). Helpers exist: Report$addSection(), Report$addParagraph(), Report$addVerbatim(), Report$addFig().

It needs a working installation of asciidoc, a2x tool chain, txt2tags and/or pandoc (NB: markdown2pdf uses pandoc with latex).

Examples

if (FALSE) {
op <- options(asciiType = "asciidoc")
createreport(head(esoph))

r <- Report$new(author = "David Hajage", email = "dhajage at gmail dot com")
r$add(section("First section"))
r$addSection("First subsection", 2)
r$add(paragraph("The data set has", sexpr(nrow(esoph)), " lines. See yourself:"), esoph)
r$addSection("Second subsection: age and alc group", 2)
tab <- with(esoph, table(alcgp, agegp))
r$add(ascii(tab), ascii(summary(tab), format = "nice"))
r$create()
r$format <- "slidy"
r$create()

r$title <- "R report example"
