XML export / HTML export #379

Open chainsawriot opened 11 months ago

chainsawriot commented 11 months ago

Let's talk about HTML/XML.

Can rio::export(iris, "iris.html") do a better job than writeLines(knitr::kable(iris, format = "html"), "iris.html")? Or is it not very useful?

Should we encourage exporting to some XML formats with an Open Standard schema, e.g. FODS, rather than the so-called "Shallow XML document"?

Of course, the meta-question is: Do you use these XML / HTML features? Could we deprecate them?
