[R] Parsing of HTML files in R

[Duncan Temple Lang]

Hi Luis,

 I just uploaded the latest version of the XML package
to the Omegahat web site at
  http://www.omegahat.org/RSXML/XML_0.7-0.tar.gz
and this now has support for parsing HTML.

I only added support for the DOM style of parsing, i.e.
reading the entire tree and then applying R functions
to convert it. Hopefully that will be enough to suit
your needs.

Please let me know if there are any problems with the package.

 Thanks for the suggestion to include HTML support.

 Duncan.
