[R] How to turn a LaTeX Sweave file (Rnw) into .HTML/.odf/.docx? (under windows)

[Joshua Wiley]

Hi Tal,

Just another note, I recently joined the R2HTML team.  I am still
slogging through the Sweave code trying to understand it better, but
in the coming months I will be working on implementing more of the
features in R's RweaveLatex() driver for HTML.  This will not
precisely help a LaTeX to HTML conversion, but will perhaps make a
pure HTML implementation more palatable.

HTML5 is theoretically supported on the latest browsers and has
supports mathml which *should* provide a means of including elegant
formulae in HTML pages.  In my experience, there seems to be
considerable cross-browser/version variability.  Here is an example
that seems to work fairly well for most browsers (thanks to mathjax):

Cheers,
