Output to RTF, PDF, HTML, and DOCX

The reporter package supports five types of output: TXT, RTF, PDF, HTML, and DOCX. The package produces TXT reports by default. If you want to produce RTF, PDF, HTML, or DOCX output, simply change the output type. Below is a portion of the Iris data listing from above, but the output_type is now set to DOCX.

library(reporter)

# Create temporary path
tmp <- file.path(tempdir(), "example9.docx")

# Read in prepared data
df <- iris[1:25, ]

# Create table
tbl <- create_table(df, borders = "bottom") 


# Create report and add content
rpt <- create_report(tmp, output_type = "DOCX", orientation = "portrait", 
                     font = "Times", font_size = 12) %>% 
  set_margins(top = 1, bottom = 1) %>%
  page_header(left = "Client: 1-800-FLOWERS", right = "Study: Iris") %>% 
  titles("Listing 1.0", "Iris Data Listing") %>% 
  add_content(tbl) %>% 
  footnotes("* Bulletin of the American Iris Society, 1935") %>%
  page_footer(left = Sys.time(), 
              center = "Confidential", 
              right = "Page [pg] of [tpg]")

# Write out report
write_report(rpt)

# View report
# file.show(tmp)
