Package: htmltab
Title: Assemble Data Frames from HTML Tables
Version: 0.7.0
Authors@R: person("Christian", "Rubba", email = "r@christianrubba.com",
role = c("aut", "cre"))
Description: HTML tables are a valuable data source but extracting and
recasting these data into a useful format can be tedious. htmltab is a package
for collecting structured information from HTML tables. It is similar to
readHTMLTable() of the XML package but provides three major advantages. First,
the function automatically expands row and column spans in the header and body
cells. Second, users are given more control over the identification of header
and body rows which will end up in the R table, including semantic header
information that appear throughout the body. Third, the function preprocesses
table code, corrects common types of malformations, removes unneeded parts and
so helps to alleviate the need for tedious post-processing.
