txtMergeLines

A merges lines while preserving the line break for HTML/LaTeX

Description

This function helps you to do a table header with multiple lines in both HTML and in LaTeX. In HTML this isn't that tricky, you just use the <br /> command but in LaTeX I often find myself writing vbox/hbox stuff and therefore I've created this simple helper function

Usage

txtMergeLines(..., html = 5)

Arguments

`...`	The lines that you want to be joined
`html`	If HTML compatible output should be used. If `FALSE` it outputs LaTeX formatting. Note if you set this to 5 then the HTML5 version of br will be used: `<br>` otherwise it uses the `<br />` that is compatible with the XHTML-formatting.

Value

string

Examples

txtMergeLines("hello", "world")
txtMergeLines("hello", "world", html=FALSE)
txtMergeLines("hello", "world", list("A list", "is OK"))
