Pandoc can convert between numerous markup and word processingįormats, including, but not limited to, various flavors of Markdown,ĭocx. watch the development repository on Github Īnd final ads: I will be presenting knitr at useR! 2012 with JJ from RStudio.Library for converting from one markup format to another, and aĬommand-line tool that uses this library.If you want to follow our latest changes, you may The next step will be our GSoC project, in which we will make the toolchain smoother, and work out better ways for R users to document packages and publish web pages (e.g. Now I have done pretty much what I planned in the beginning. I believe this combination makes reproducible research much more accessible to the general audience, and I hope to see it being used in statistical courses so that students no longer do tedious jobs of copy & paste, and professors no longer suffer from ugly Word reports. MS Word is most widely used but you know… LaTeX is beautiful but difficult to learn and laborious to write. That being said, I feel most excited about the RStudio integration with knitr and markdown. HTML5 slides is just one tiny thing that you can play with markdown check out the pandoc documentation to see more possibilities. Then you get an HTML file knitr-slides.html which you can view in a modern web browser.

(Did you see the Binomial pmf there?!) Converter: Pandoc You do not have to learn LaTeX in order to step into the realm of reproducible research. When you are done, just hit the button Knit HTML, and you get a nice HTML page showing you R code and the output. It is both quick to write and easy to remember (and readable too). You can write headers with # and bullet points with. To start with, you can use my example on Github: knitr-slides.Rmd, or quickly cook up your own by Ctrl + Shift + I to insert code chunks. The button MD in the toolbar shows a quick reference of the markdown syntax, which I believe you can learn in 3 minutes. ![]() ![]() With this version, you will see an interface like this when you create an R markdown file ( File -> New -> R Markdown): You need to install the RStudio preview version to use its new features on markdown support. to support tables) that is another story, and you do not need to worry much about it.īefore you get started, make sure your knitr version is at least 0.5: # install.packages(c('knitr', 'XML', 'RCurl')) The problem with markdown is that the original invention seems to be too simple, so quite a few variants were derived later (e.g. For those who are not familiar with markdown, you may read the traditional documentation, but RStudio has a quicker reference (see below). One week ago I made an early announcement about the markdown support in the knitr package and RStudio, and now the version 0.5 of knitr is on CRAN, so I’m back to show you how I made the HTML5 slides.
