This project builds on the 2022 texor and rebib projects, with the goal to convert legacy R Journal articles into the new Rmarkdown template format.
texor, rebib, rjtools
This project will continue the development of the texor package. It will involve:
- examining the tests done on the past issue of the R Journal at https://github.com/rjournal/paper_conversion and make changes to texor to handle common issues.
- writing documentation of the methodology used in texor and how to use it.
- Convert as many of the legacy issues as possible.
- Consider generalising to converting into routine Rmarkdown or even quarto documents.
This work will be generally useful, by making older articles of the R Journal more accessible, and helping new authors convert from latex to Rmarkdown.
