latexNumeric

Process numeric LaTeX or HTML values.

Description

This takes formatted strings as produced by format from numeric values, and modifies them to LaTeX or HTML code that retains the spacing, and renders minus signs properly. The default formatting in tabular uses this to maintain proper alignment.

Usage

latexNumeric(chars, minus = TRUE, leftpad = TRUE, rightpad = TRUE, mathmode = TRUE)
htmlNumeric(chars, minus = TRUE, leftpad = TRUE, rightpad = TRUE)

Arguments

`chars`	A character vector of numeric values.
`minus`	Whether to pad cases with no minus sign with spacing of the same width.
`leftpad,rightpad`	Whether to pad cases that have leading or trailing blanks with spacing matching a digit width per space.
`mathmode`	Whether to wrap the result in dollar signs, so LaTeX renders minus signs properly.

Value

A character vector of the same length as chars, with modifications to render properly in LaTeX.

Examples

latexNumeric(format(c(1.1,-1,10,-10)))
htmlNumeric(format(c(1.1,-1,10,-10)))
