What is the project about?
Since 'rmarkdown' and 'knitr', more and more members (rticles, bookdown, mindr...) have been joining the R Markdown family. Users can write elegant reproducible documents, manuscripts, dissertations, books, blog posts, posters, and slides within the framework of R markdown. It is exciting, while the installation and maintenance becomes annoying. In the meanwhile, there are plenty of useful RStudio addins, which equip the RStudio IDE as a powerful markdown editor. However, these little tools are often hidden somewhere deep in the community, and it is difficult to dig them out.
With 'rmd' you can easily explore, install, and load them for both R users and non-users. Furthermore, 'rmd' provides a RStudio addin to explore the R Markdown family and install them with a single click.
Forget R, and enjoy the wonderful world of R Markdown.
What are the current features?
Load multiple functions with one command
When 'rmd' is loaded, multiple useful markdown packages are loaded. Uses can directly write all kinds of documents with them.
require('rmd')
>> Loading required package: rmd
>> -- Attaching packages --------------------------------------------- rmd 0.1.3 --
>> √ rmarkdown 1.11.2 √ tinytex 0.9
>> √ knitr 1.21 √ xaringan 0.8
>> √ bookdown 0.9 √ citr 0.2.0
>> √ blogdown 0.10 √ mindr 1.1.10
>> √ rticles 0.6 √ bookdownplus 1.5.4
'rmd' provides four main functions currently.
rmd_conflicts(): check the conflicts of the functions in 'rmd' and other loaded packages.
rmd_deps(): list all the 'rmd' dependencies.
rmd_packages(): list all packages in 'rmd'.
rmd_update(): check to see if all rmd packages (and optionally, their dependencies) are up-to-date, and will install after an interactive confirmation.
'rmd' provides an RStudio addin. Click the 'Addins' button on the tool bar and find 'R Markdown Family' under 'RMD'. A table of suggested R markdown packages will pop out. A package in a green row has already been installed. Click a row to install or remove the package.
List of R markdown family members
The R markdown family members in the 'rmd' addin can be found on GitHub. If you made a useful package for the R markdown family, feel free to make a pull request and add it to the list.

Technology Stack
'rmd' is developed in R language.
Roadmap
The main structure of 'rmd' is more or less done. In the future, two things will be maintained.
- Keep an eye on useful R markdown packages and add the new ones into the R markdown family.
- Collect nice tools and maintain the addin list.
