No, it is still in the SciViews bundle. Tell me if you have problems 
with it.
Best,

I heartily second Phillipe's response. I just started a new job and the 
first thing required was a neat stats report for a dataset. I thought I 
would give R2HTML a try and about 5 minutes after downloading it, I was 
looking at the first draft of the report. I did have to do a bit of 
hacking on the graphics, but it was easy and I can now present the 
report first thing in the morning. Had I not been able to do this, I 
probably would have been told, "You'll have to use SPSS."

I was so impressed by R2HTML that I began writing a primitive HTML 
generator that will scan an R script and do something like R2HTML. I 
couldn't find anything like this as the svMisc package seems to have 
disappeared. If anyone knows of something like this or is working on it, 
I'd appreciate knowing about it.

The R2HTML package does have a driver for sweave (see help for
RweaveHTML).  This allows you to write an HTML file and add the R
commands you want (use <<>>=, @ combinations to indicate R commands
and
<Sexpr r-code> for inline replacement), then process it with sweave and
have a final HTML file (and possibly additional graphic files for the
links) with the R output included. 

Is this what you were looking for?

I heartily second Phillipe's response. I just started a new job and the
first thing required was a neat stats report for a dataset. I thought I
would give R2HTML a try and about 5 minutes after downloading it, I was
looking at the first draft of the report. I did have to do a bit of
hacking on the graphics, but it was easy and I can now present the
report first thing in the morning. Had I not been able to do this, I
probably would have been told, "You'll have to use SPSS."

I was so impressed by R2HTML that I began writing a primitive HTML
generator that will scan an R script and do something like R2HTML. I
couldn't find anything like this as the svMisc package seems to have
disappeared. If anyone knows of something like this or is working on it,
I'd appreciate knowing about it.
