[R] sweave xtable and driver RweaveHTML

[Yihui Xie]

You can certainly generate an HTML table, but how about the rest of
your Snw document? How are you going to convert them to HTML? I mean
otherwise you get something like this which is not a valid HTML
document:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
<TABLE border=1>
<TR> <TH>  </TH> <TH> Sepal.Length </TH> <TH> Sepal.Width </TH> <TH>
Petal.Length </TH> <TH> Petal.Width </TH> <TH> Species </TH>  </TR>
  <TR> <TD align="right"> 1 </TD> <TD align="right"> 5.10 </TD> <TD
align="right"> 3.50 </TD> <TD align="right"> 1.40 </TD> <TD
align="right"> 0.20 </TD> <TD> setosa </TD> </TR>
  <TR> <TD align="right"> 2 </TD> <TD align="right"> 4.90 </TD> <TD
align="right"> 3.00 </TD> <TD align="right"> 1.40 </TD> <TD
align="right"> 0.20 </TD> <TD> setosa </TD> </TR>
   </TABLE>
\end{document}


It is not easy to write a document for both LaTeX and HTML, although
the R output can be easily converted to either LaTeX or HTML.
