toHTML {XML} | R Documentation

## Create an HTML representation of the given R object, using internal C-level nodes

### Description

This generic function and the associated methods are intended to create an HTML tree that represents the R object in some intelligent manner. For example, we represent a vector as a table and we represent a matrix also as a table.

### Usage

    toHTML(x, context = NULL)

### Arguments

`x` | the R object which is to be represented via an HTML tree
`context` | an object which provides context in which the node will be used. This is currently arbitrary. It may be used, for example, when creating HTML for R documentation and providing information about variabes and functions that are available on that page and so have internal links.

### Details

It would be nicer if we could pass additional arguments to control whether the outer/parent layer is created, e.g. when reusing code for a vector for a row of a matrix.

### Value

an object of class `XMLInternalNode`
