John, I don't think nsmall uses a vector. Try the following with format (which HTML.data.frame uses):
> format(iris[1:2,1:2],nsmall=c(3,1)) Sepal.Length Sepal.Width 1 5.100 3.500 2 4.900 3.000 It looks like you'll have to do a format column by column with a loop. - Tom john seers (IFR) wrote: > > > Hello All > > I am having a bit of trouble formatting my HTML with the desired number > of digits after the decimal place.
