htmltab: Assemble Data Frames from HTML Tables

HTML tables are a valuable data source but extracting and recasting

these data into a useful format can be tedious. This package allows to collect

structured information from HTML tables. It is similar to 'readHTMLTable()'

of the XML package but provides three major advantages. First, the function

automatically expands row and column spans in the header and body cells.

Second, users are given more control over the identification of header and body

rows which will end up in the R table, including semantic header information

that appear throughout the body. Third, the function preprocesses table code,

corrects common types of malformations, removes unneeded parts and so helps to

alleviate the need for tedious post-processing.
