htmlTable (version 1.5)

txtMergeLines: A merges lines while preserving the line break for html/LaTeX

Description

This function helps you to do a multiline table header in both html and in LaTeX. In html this isn't that tricky, you just use the
command but in LaTeX I often find myself writing vbox/hbox stuff and therefore I've created this simple helper function

Usage

txtMergeLines(..., html = 5)

Arguments

...

The lines that you want to be joined

html

If HTML compatible output should be used. If FALSE it outputs LaTeX formatting. Note if you set this to 5 then the html5 version of br will be used:
otherwise it uses the
that is compatible with the xhtml-formatting.

Value

string

txtMergeLines("hello", "world", html=FALSE)
txtMergeLines("hello", "world", list("A list", "is OK"))
