Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : r-cran-markdown Version : 0.7.7 Upstream Author : Yihui Xie <xie /a/ yihui . name> * URL : https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/markdown/ * License : GPL e.a. Programming Lang: R, C Description : GNU R package providing R bindings to the Sundown Markdown rendering library Provides R bindings to the Sundown Markdown rendering library by Vicent Marti e.a., based upon work by Natacha Porté. Markdown is a plain-text formatting syntax that can be converted to XHTML or other formats. . The R function `markdownToHTML` renders a markdown file to HTML. Options controlling HTML output and supported markdown extensions can be optionally specified. . The package also exports the underlying Sundown C extension API which enables creating and calling custom renderers using the `renderMarkdown` function. The R markdown package is a dependency for r-cran-knitr (ITP Bug#808155); r-cran-knitr is needed for RStudio's Shiny Server. I'll work on the packaging using debian-science's git at Alioth, at http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=debian-science/packages/r-cran-markdown.git .
