toHTML {XML} | R Documentation |
Create an HTML representation of the given R object, using internal C-level nodes
Description
This generic function and the associated methods are intended to create an HTML tree that represents the R object in some intelligent manner. For example, we represent a vector as a table and we represent a matrix also as a table.
Usage
toHTML(x, context = NULL)
Arguments
x |
the R object which is to be represented via an HTML tree |
context |
an object which provides context in which the node will be used. This is currently arbitrary. It may be used, for example, when creating HTML for R documentation and providing information about variabes and functions that are available on that page and so have internal links. |
Details
It would be nicer if we could pass additional arguments to control whether the outer/parent layer is created, e.g. when reusing code for a vector for a row of a matrix.
Value
an object of class XMLInternalNode
