R: Markdown rendering for R

markdown {markdown} | R Documentation

## Markdown rendering for R

### Description

Markdown is a plain-text formatting syntax that can be converted to XHTML or other formats. This package provides R bindings to the Sundown (https://github.com/vmg/sundown) markdown rendering library.

### Details

The R function `markdownToHTML` renders a markdown file to HTML (respecting the specified `markdownExtensions` and `markdownHTMLOptions`).

The package also exports the underlying Sundown C extension API which enables creating and calling custom renderers using the `renderMarkdown` function.
