I use xtable to convert data.frames to html tables.

How can I suppress that output is printed?
Perhaps by diverting it somewhere else? (after the example in
xtable's help page)
capture.output(print(tli.table, type="html"), file="HTout.html")
R is not an HTML editor, so it would seem less than intuitive to
send it to a character variable. It would not work to assign the
value of capture.output since that is an invisible NULL.
If that were true, capture.output() would be pretty useless. The
returned value is NULL if the file= argument is specified, otherwise
it is the captured output.
Thanks for the correction. I was not reading the help page correctly.
table <- capture.output(print(xtable(CERAT), type="html")) # would
have been the correct answer.
