HTMLInitFile: Begins / Ends a new HTML report output

Description

HTMLInitFile handles the beginning and HTMLEndFile the ending of a HTML report, by writing the HTML <body><head><title></title></head>...</body> tags and their options. When working manually, the user may need to use it's own functions or to explicitly write to a file using cat("", file=).

HTMLInitFile and HTMLSetFile sets the default file path to be used by HTML functions, and HTMLGetFile retrieves it.

HTMLInitFile(outdir = tempdir(), filename="index", extension="html",
HTMLframe=FALSE, BackGroundColor = "FFFFFF", BackGroundImg = "",
Title = "R output", CSSFile="R2HTML.css", useLaTeX=TRUE, useGrid=TRUE)
