Robert has already suggested Sweave.
Note that with both graphics and text, you can also output to Postscript and
PDF files. With a little work, you can combine your textual data into tables
(I usually use a data.frame) and output as a PDF. With a little more work, you
can combine graphics and tables on a PDF page, all from inside R.
There is also a plugin available for OpenOffice that works like Sweave in OOo.
For future reference, this question belonged on r-help, as it is not really
finance related. Many threads on r-help over the years have covered this topic.

Pakcage R2HTML is nice for generating html output.

I have actually started to use a document generation system called Webby, and a tool for integrating and syntax-highlighting text files called Idiopidae. It's much more flexible than Sweave (and much less painful to install). For example, you could integrate the output of an R script into a HTML or RTF (e.g. Word) document, as well as LaTeX. http://webby.rubyforge.org/ http://www.zedshaw.com/projects/idiopidae/ You could also just use Idiopidae on its own, it might be all you need. 2009/1/15 Brian G.
