Assemble Data Frames from HTML Tables
Description
htmltab is a package for extracting structured information from
HTML tables. It is similar to readHTMLTable() of the XML package but provides
two major advantages. First, the package automatically expands row and
column spans in the header and body cells. Second, users are given more
control over the identification of header and body rows which will end up
in the R table. Additionally, the function preprocesses table code, removes
unneeded parts and so helps to alleviate the need for tedious post-processing.
