You need to extract some specific information from your Rmd or Qmd file? {lightparser} is designed to split your Rmd or Qmd file by sections into a tibble: titles, text, chunks. It stores them as a tibble, so you can easily manipulate it with {dplyr} or {purrr}. Later, you can rebuild a Rmd or Qmd from the tibble.
Installation
You can install the development version of lightparser from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ThinkR-open/lightparser")Documentation
Full documentation website on: https://thinkr-open.github.io/lightparser/
Example
Split your Rmd or Qmd file into a tibble:
library(lightparser)
file <- system.file(
"dev-template-parsing.Rmd",
package = "lightparser"
)
tbl_rmd <- split_to_tbl(file)
tbl_rmd
