| 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.
It's also outdated (but still a depends). All never processed call the newer
package rmarkdown (leading r, uses pandoc), also by RStudio, which in turns
call knitr for some parts. But markdown should be easy enough to package,
hopefully.
Thanks for doing this.

| 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 .
