R help - Apr 2009 - Presenting R Results in Webpages

I apologize in advance that this question is not specific to R, but I thought
some R users may be using this in their work process flow.

I would like to be able to have a tool (prefer "scriptable") that will
take two images and some pre-written text and put it on an simple webpage.

That is, it would look something like the following:

|---------------------------------------------|
|                    Title                    |
|                                             |
|  |--------|  |--------|     Some basic txt  |
|  | Image1 |  | Image2 |     ...             |
|  |________|  |________|     ...             |
|_____________________________________________|

R comes in because I have R scripts creating the images I would like to import. 
There will be 14-18 pages of these type of slides, but the key is we will be
producing these over and over.  I tried doing something like this in PowerPoint,
but not impressed with the linking capability or Macros.

Thanks for any feedback and again appologize that this is not exactly a specific
R question.

Would the hwriter package by Gregoire Pau provide a solution?

Hi Jason,
You could do something similar with htmlize in the prettyR package, and 
get exactly what you want with a bit of HTML editing. Get an R script 
that will generate the two images, then the text. Then insert a few tags 
like this:

(All of the HTML before the first image)
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<img src="Image1.png">
<td>
<img src="Image2.png">
<td>
Text that you want in the right hand cell
</table>
(the rest of the HTML)

If you were doing more elaborate things, or doing this often, you could
consider non-R approaches such as the Cheetah - python template engine.
