[R] Document Term Matrix will not maintain decimal places of numbers or capture all terms

[Sarah Goslee]

This question is a strong argument for not posting in HTML. I at least

It's also a strong argument for providing a small reproducible example
using dput() to provide data.

Someone is more likely to be able to help if we don't have to guess
what you meant.
