xml2HTML: Process XML/R-Docbook document to HTML or PDF statically

In duncantl/XDynDocs: Dynamic Documents with XML and XSL

Process XML/R-Docbook document to HTML or PDF statically

Description

These functions provide R-level facilities for processing an XML/R-docbook document to HTML or PDF but without running the code in the document, but merely displaying it as-is in the document. (For dynamically running the code and inserting the results, use dynDoc.)

The xml2PDF function attempts to use FOP to create the PDF from the Formatting Object (FO) document.

The functions xml2HTML and rdh2HTML are identical, just with different names to indicate that they can be used for R-Docbook (rdb) files. The same applies to the PDF functions.

These are just convenience functions to do things from within R. They currently do not specify all the useful XSL parameters to control the creation of the document. A better way is to use the make file that comes with this XDynDocs package. make -f <directory of installed XDynDocs package>/Make/Makefile myDoc.html

Usage

xml2HTML(file,
         style = "http://www.omegahat.org/XDynDocs/XSL/OmegahatXSL/html/Rhtml.xsl",
         ..., out = gsub("\\.(Rdb|xml)$", "\\.html", file),
         .params = XSL_DB_Opts)

Arguments

file	the source document, either a file or a parsed XML document
style	the XSL stylesheet
...	additional parameters passed on to xsltApplyStyleSheet
out	the name of the output file or NULL
.params	an alternative way to specify XSL parameter name-value pairs as a list or character vector.
