\title{The hwriter package}

\section{Description}
The package \Rpackage{hwriter} is an easy-to-use package able to format and output R (from the R-project) objects in HTML format. 
It supports advanced formatting, tables, CSS styling, images and provides a convenient mapping between R tables and HTML tables.

The project page is \url{http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~gpau/hwriter}.

The package provides the following functions (but most of the job is carried out by \Rfunction{hwrite}):
\begin{itemize}
\item \Rfunction{hwrite} outputs an R object in HTML format.
\item \Rfunction{hwriteImage} writes an image.
\item \Rfunction{openPage, closePage} handles HTML page/document creation.
\item \Rfunction{hmakeTag} is a low-level HTML tag formatting function.
\end{itemize}

All the functions are documented in the manual pages. Please check them for reference.

\section{Example}

It is not easy to render what an HTML writing package could do in a PDF document. The following example produces a local web page
named \Rfunction{example-hwriter.html} which contains many documented examples, all with R sources and resulting HTML outputs.
