pubprint

Pubprint is an extension for the R programming language. This package takes the output of several statistical tests, collects the characteristic values and transforms it in a publish-friendly pattern. Currently only the APA (American Psychological Association) style is supported with output to HTML, LaTeX, Markdown and plain text. The pubprint package is easily customizable, extendable and can be used well with knitr. Additionally pubprint offers a memory system that allows to save and retrieve results of computations.

The package is still in alpha stage. This means that it should work reliable but that the interface of the functions may be subject to change.

The Markdown output is in pandoc flavour and HTML output complies to MathML. If pubprint is used in a document that is processed by knitr, output format will be automatically determined.
