Good morning, Last week I started learning about [RMarkdown]. It is a [literate programming] tool implemented in, and for, the [ℝ programming language]. Although I haven't dug in deep yet, I do know that (1) it is /basically/ [Markdown] and that (2) `org' exports both to [vanilla markdown] and also [GitHub flavored Markdown] and that (3) a lot of my peers use `RMarkdown' and not `org'. With that that in mind I got curious about what it would take to write an `org2rmarkdown' exporter.
The scope of my interest is one-time exports for the most basic and simple `org' document. As such, right now I have no requirements beyond thinking about the opportunity. After doing some Internet searches, there does not seem to be an exporter right now. Questions: • Does one exist and I missed it? • Do you have any interest in such an exporter? • Has anyone else ever thought of doing this? If yes, why didn't you? • My guess is that doing an exporter that [builds on an existing exporter], mentioned above, would be a great start. Thoughts? • The big difference seems to be control statements passed to the interpreter, which may or may not be necessary to convert. If not, than the *stock* `markdown' exporter would provide everything Kind regards, [RMarkdown] http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/ [literate programming] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming [ℝ programming language] http://www.r-project.org/ [Markdown] http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax [vanilla markdown] http://orgmode.org/manual/Markdown-export.html [GitHub flavored Markdown] http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/plain/contrib/lisp/ox-gfm.el [builds on an existing exporter] http://orgmode.org/manual/Adding-export-back_002dends.html -- Grant Rettke g...@wisdomandwonder.com | http://www.wisdomandwonder.com/ “Wisdom begins in wonder.” --Socrates ((λ (x) (x x)) (λ (x) (x x))) “Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously.” --Thompson
