How to integrate html report into R Studio or R Markdown?

[mtoufiq]

Hi,

I have an *.html file as a separate data analysis result report obtained from a collaborator. I wanted to inquire if there is a way to integrate this html report into an existing R Markdown file (rmd) or a way to import into R Studio?

Thank you in advance.

I succeeded to do this with a simple RMarkdown-generated html file in the following way.

1. Generated the file tobeincluded.html from the standard File | New File | RMarkdown template
   This uses the pandoc convertor.

2. I use the same convertor to convert the html file to an md file:
   $ pandoc tobeincluded.html -f html -o tobeincluded.md -t markdown_strict

3. Include the md file as a child document in the main document:

```{r child='tobeincluded.md'}
```

In your case you would only do steps 2 and 3 and if this works for you is dependent on the quality of the pandoc conversion. I have no experience with converting html documents that are not generated by the RMarkdown-pandoc combination.

I referenced The RMarkdown Cookbook and Converting HTML to Markdown using Pandoc by Brian Cantoni.
