Last time I was working on something complex, I was able to knit from Rmd to md, and then use my usual pandoc defaults, which was quite neat. Big recommendation

Last time I was working on something complex, I was able to knit from Rmd to md, and then use my usual pandoc defaults, which was quite neat. Big recommendation on that workflow.

My typesetting Markdown series explores weaving knitr and pandoc together: https://dave.autonoma.ca/blog/2019/07/11/typesetting-markdown-part-6/ https://dave.autonoma.ca/blog/2019/07/11/typesetting-markdow... However, most workflows and nearly all editors don't support interpolated variables. To address this, first I developed a YAML preprocessor: https://repo.autonoma.ca/yamlp.git https://repo.autonoma.ca/yamlp.git Then I grew tired of editing YAML files, piping files together, and maintaining bash scripts. So next, I developed KeenWrite to allow use of interpolated variables directly within documents from a single program.
