| HTMLStart | R Documentation |
Add the automatic redirection of output to an HTML file. The R session is modified in the following way: a new prompt is proposed (by default HTML>) and each parsed command is also evaluated using HTML generic method, so that the user benefits of both a normal and a HTML output. Please read carefully the details below.
HTMLStart(outdir = tempdir(), filename = "index", extension = "html",
echo = FALSE, autobrowse = FALSE, HTMLframe = TRUE, withprompt = "HTML> ",
CSSFile = "R2HTML.css", BackGroundColor = "FFFFFF", BackGroundImg = "",
Title = "R output")
HTMLStop()
outdir |
physical directory to store the output |
filename |
name of the target HTML main file |
extension |
extension of the target HTML file (htm, html,...) |
echo |
should the parsed commands be written in the output? [boolean] |
autobrowse |
should the browser be invoked each time a command is issued? [boolean] |
HTMLframe |
should the output have a HTML frame structure? [boolean] |
withprompt |
prompt to display while using HTMLStart/HTMLStop |
CSSFile |
path and name of a CSS file to use |
BackGroundColor |
option bgcolor for HTML tag <body> |
BackGroundImg |
option background for HTML tag <body> |
Title |
string to pass to HTML <title> tag |
The user may need to know the following points which describe how R2HTML does work:
- Each parsed command is evaluated and the returned value is passed to the generic function HTML. This evaluation is assured by addTaskCallback function, which is used to add a specific task each time R has to parse an expression.
- A new environment is built, where internal variables such as physical path are stored. This environment is not visible by the user. It is destroyed when calling HTMLStop.
no useful output is returned.
The argument echo is very usefull for teaching purposes.
