report_Sample(x = .sample(), delim)

.sample(sample = NA, type = NA, exp_age = NA, n_aliquots = NA,
  measurement_dates = NA, irr_doses = NA)

Arguments

x	list (required): A named list with information on the following elements given in .sample. Consider using .sample as a constructor.
delim	character (required): Keyword specifying the delimiter insterted before the section. Usually "<br>" or "<hr>" for HTML and "\\newpage" for PDF reports.
sample	character: Sample name or laboratory code.
type	character: Sample type (e.g., "Coral" or "Mollusc").
exp_age	character: The expected age range.
n_aliquots	character: Number of aliquots used to determine the equivalent dose.
measurement_dates	character: When were the measurements conducted?
irr_doses	character: Irradiation doses (in Gy) of the individual aliquots.

Value

Text output via cat.
