RMD Reader

This plugin helps you creating posts with knitr's RMarkdown files. knitr is a template engine which executes and displays embedded R code. So, being short you can write an executable paper with codes, formulas and graphics.

Dependency

This plugin needs rpy2 to work. Install it with:

pip install rpy2

Usage

The plugin detects RMD files ending with .Rmd or .rmd so you only have to write a RMarkdown files inside content directory.

This plugin calls R to process these files and generates markdown files that are processed by Python Markdown (with meta, codehilite(css_class=highlight), and extra extensions) before returning the content and metadata to pelican engine.
