  x,
  letter.convert = TRUE,
  greek2text = TRUE,
  text2num = TRUE,
  correctComma = FALSE,
  na.rm = TRUE
)

A unified character matrix or list of character matrices.

Arguments

x

A character matrix or list of character matrices.

letter.convert

Logical. If TRUE, hexadecimal- and html-encoded letters will be unified and converted to Unicode with JATSdecoder::letter.convert().

greek2text

correctComma

Logical. If TRUE, commas used as numeric separators are converted to dots.

na.rm

Logical. If TRUE, cells with NA, or only minus, hyphen, slash, or dot are set to empty cells.
