\arguments{
\item{items}{Data frame, or a grouped data frame, with each column representing one item.}

\item{weight.by}{Vector of weights that will be applied to weight all cases.
Must be a vector of same length as the input vector. Default is
\code{NULL}, so no weights are used.}

\item{title}{String, will be used as table caption.}

\item{var.labels}{Character vector with variable names, which will be used
to label variables in the output.}

\item{value.labels}{Character vector (or \code{list} of character vectors)
with value labels of the supplied variables, which will be used
to label variable values in the output.}

\item{wrap.labels}{Numeric, determines how many chars of the value, variable
or axis labels are displayed in one line and when a line break is inserted.}

\item{sort.frq}{logical, indicates whether the \code{items} should be ordered by
by highest count of first or last category of \code{items}.
\itemize{
  \item Use \code{"first.asc"} to order ascending by lowest count of first category,
  \item \code{"first.desc"} to order descending by lowest count of first category,
  \item \code{"last.asc"} to order ascending by lowest count of last category,
  \item \code{"last.desc"} to order descending by lowest count of last category,
  \item or \code{NULL} (default) for no sorting.
}}

\item{alternate.rows}{Logical, if \code{TRUE}, rows are printed in
alternatig colors (white and light grey by default).}

\item{digits}{Numeric, amount of digits after decimal point when rounding
values.}

\item{string.total}{label for the total N column.}

\item{string.na}{label for the missing column/row.}

\item{show.n}{logical, if \code{TRUE}, adds total number of cases for each
group or category to the labels.}

\item{show.total}{logical, if \code{TRUE}, an additional column with each
item's total N is printed.}

\item{show.na}{logical, if \code{TRUE}, \code{\link{NA}}'s (missing values)
are added to the output.}

\item{show.skew}{logical, if \code{TRUE}, an additional column with each item's skewness is printed.
The skewness is retrieved from the \code{\link[psych]{describe}}-function
of the \pkg{psych}-package.}

\item{show.kurtosis}{Logical, if \code{TRUE}, the kurtosis for each item will also be shown (see \code{\link[psych]{kurtosi}}
and \code{\link[psych]{describe}} in the \code{psych}-package for more details.}

\item{digits.stats}{amount of digits for rounding the skewness and kurtosis valuess.
Default is 2, i.e. skewness and kurtosis values have 2 digits after decimal point.}

\item{file}{Destination file, if the output should be saved as file.
If \code{NULL} (default), the output will be saved as temporary file and
opened either in the IDE's viewer pane or the default web browser.}

\item{encoding}{Character vector, indicating the charset encoding used
for variable and value labels. Default is \code{"UTF-8"}. For Windows
Systems, \code{encoding = "Windows-1252"} might be necessary for proper
display of special characters.}

\item{CSS}{A \code{\link{list}} with user-defined style-sheet-definitions,
according to the \href{https://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/}{official CSS syntax}.
See 'Details' or \href{https://strengejacke.github.io/sjPlot/articles/table_css.html}{this package-vignette}.}

\item{use.viewer}{Logical, if \code{TRUE}, the HTML table is shown in the IDE's
viewer pane. If \code{FALSE} or no viewer available, the HTML table is
opened in a web browser.}

\item{remove.spaces}{Logical, if \code{TRUE}, leading spaces are removed from all lines in the final string
that contains the html-data. Use this, if you want to remove parantheses for html-tags. The html-source
may look less pretty, but it may help when exporting html-tables to office tools.}

Invisibly returns

           \item the web page content (\code{page.content}),

\description{
Shows the results of stacked frequencies (such as likert scales) as HTML table.
               This function is useful when several items with identical scale/categories
               should be printed as table to compare their distributions (e.g.
               when plotting scales like SF, Barthel-Index, Quality-of-Life-scales etc.).
