spgarbet/tangram: The Grammar of Tables

Provides an extensible formula system to quickly and easily create production quality tables. The processing steps are a formula parser, statistical content generation from data as defined by formula, followed by rendering into a table. Each step of the processing is separate and user definable thus creating a set of composable building blocks for highly customizable table generation. A user is not limited by any of the choices of the package creator other than the formula grammar. For example, one could chose to add a different S3 rendering function and output a format not provided in the default package, or possibly one would rather have Gini coefficients for their statistical content in a resulting table. Routines to achieve New England Journal of Medicine style, Lancet style and Hmisc::summaryM() statistics are provided. The package contains rendering for HTML5, Rmarkdown and an indexing format for use in tracing and tracking are provided.
