[R] Small Functions for Writing HTML Files

[Zed A . Shaw]

Hmmm, very interesting.  I'll look into this.  Using what I have here 
as a base, it might not be too hard.  Still, I have to see how it's 
being done.  One thing that I see as a problem is the use of <<>>= to 
mark off code pieces.  Not sure how that would mess with html tag since 
they use <> combos.

I personally don't much like literate programming tools since they make 
it hard to figure out what is code and what is docs.  They drive 
programmers like me insane (I like everything neatly in its own 
place).  But, it might be interesting to see how an HTML literate tool 
would work.

My original plan for this HTML stuff is to make it so you just hand a 
bunch of different objects to a "report" function and it spits out a 
basic kind of report in forever rolling HTML.  But, I still haven't 
figured out how to do it.  For now, I just wrote a function called 
myreport which I pass it my data and it writes my report for me.

Anyway, thanks for your comments.  I'll let you knwo what I find out.
