[R] HTML Output from R

[partha_bagchi@hgsi.com]

Apologies to the group for not having summarized (and taking all this time)
all the replies I got on this topic.
The original question was if anyone had done HTML output from R. The
message also included a first attempt at writing such a function..

Thanks, to Terry Westley who suggested that I model the function after
write.table. I was not aware of write.table (my fault). Since then I have
looked at to see how it handles rows and columns.
Thanks to Peter Sinn who suggested I look at Rweb. Rweb uses <ver></ver> to
write output. I was looking to "pretty" up the output.
Thanks to Kurt Hornik who echoed Terry Westley's suggestions and also noted
the eventuality of HTML output or LaTeX output from write.table.

Based on write.table, the solution I settled on, is as follows: (as usual,
suggestions welcomed).

write.html.table <- function(x, file= "", capt= "The Default Title", append
= FALSE){
#x the dataframe to be written to an HTML file
  head <- paste("<table border= 1, align= \"center\">\n<caption>", capt,
"</caption>\n<tr><td>\n")
  cat(head, file= file, append= append)
  write.table(x, sep= "<td>", file= file, eol= "</tr>\n", row.names= rep
("<tr>", nrow(x)),
              col.names= TRUE, append= TRUE, quote= FALSE)
  cat("</tr>\n</table>\n", file= file, append= TRUE)
}
