htmltab 0.8.2

Update Wikipedia link in vignette

htmltab 0.8.1

Remove outdated references

htmltab 0.8.0

Added support for user-specified encoding (@UnkindPartition)

Used versioned Wikipedia urls in vignette and tests
Make S3method check_type exports compatible with R>=4

New repo and new maintainers
Fixed some typos (@barclay-osborne)
Changed NEWS to NEWS.md
Moved to Github Actions

htmltab 0.7.1

Fixed failing vignette examples

htmltab 0.7.0

When htmltab encounters an inner table inside the target table, the inner table is flattened to allow table generation

Added a new argument (rm_nodata_cols) to remove columns that have no apparent data value

Single column data frames are not reduced to vectors anymore which used to result in an error
When the last column had misspecified column spans, htmltab previously discarded an entire column. Now, a check is in place that makes a judgment whether a column should be kept or not
Fixed a problem with reading html files from the local file system (@earino)
Fixed failing tests

htmltab 0.6.0

Added capability to process header information that appear in-table. This is done via a new formula interface to the header argument
Added new parameter (rm_whitespace) to remove leading and trailing whitespace from cell values
Added new parameter (rm_identical_cols) to remove columns that are falsely copied when colspan attributes are misused
Tables are now checked for and cleaned from various types of malformation

Fixed a bug that prevented correct creation of multi-row header when a header cell was completely whitespace
Fixed a bug where rm_empty_cols did not work properly because of values that were created through column expansion
Removed unreliable test for documentation examples
Automatic check for nested tables. htmltab throws an error when the designated table includes a table

In the header construction, multi-row headers are now correctly ignoring empty values in the final header
Complementarity checks of header and body rows are now based on a different (and more robust) methodology

htmltab 0.5.0

Revised code for header and body identification. When an XPath is passed to either of the two, it must treat the parent table node as the root. This change is backward incompatible

Header and body are now treated as complementary elements of a table, i.e. passing (numeric) information about the position of either of the two will be used for the identification of the other
Added a new argument (fillNA) to replace non-data cells cells by NA
Added a new argument (rm_nodata_cols) to remove columns that have no apparent data value
Added a new argument (rm_invisible) to remove invisible nodes from the table node

Fixed a problem where htmltab failed when a table didn't nest a row within tr tags. Now every table is controlled, and tr tags are added when necessary
Fixed a small problem with misspecified spans in the table header
Added meaningful error message when table couldn't be identified
Fixed problem where a header warning was thrown even when colNames was supplied
