weasydoc

The goal of weasydoc is to convert R Markdown to PDF using WeasyPrint or Prince.

Motivation

The usual way to convert R Markdown documents to PDF relies on LaTeX.
The only caveat is that learning LaTeX layout is not obvious.

Since pandoc version 2.0 supports PDF generation through HTML+CSS, formatting PDF document can now be achieved through CSS. I think this may be quite easier...

Contribution

This package suits my needs. Feel free to send PR.

Example

devtools::install_github('RLesur/weasydoc')

rmarkdown::render('myfile.Rmd', weasydoc::wpdf_document_base(highlight = "pygments"))
