HTML tables are a valuable data source but extracting and recasting
these data into a useful format can be tedious. 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:
Additionally, the function preprocesses table code, removes unneeded parts and so helps to alleviate the need for tedious post-processing.
You can install the released version of htmltab from CRAN with:
install.packages("htmltab")
And the development version from GitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("htmltab/htmltab")
