write_md: Write a markdown-formatted metadata document

In delma: Convert 'R Markdown' and 'Quarto' Documents to Ecological Metadata Language

Write a markdown-formatted metadata document

Description

write_md() creates an Rmd or Qmd file from an EML file.

Usage

write_md(x, file)

Arguments

x	Object of any class handled by delma; i.e. ⁠tbl_lp,⁠ tbl_df, list or xml_document.
file	Filename to write to. Must be either .md, .Rmd or .qmd file.

Details

Similar to read_md(), write_md() is considerably less generic than most write_ functions. If x is an xml_document this should convert seamlessly; but lists or tibbles that have been manually formatted require care. Internally, write_md() calls lightparser::combine_tbl_to_file.

Value

Doesn't return anything; called for the side-effect of writing the specified markdown file to disk.

Examples

source_file <- system.file("extdata", 
                           "bionet_metadata.xml",
                           package = "delma")
df <- read_eml(source_file)
write_md(df, "example.Rmd")
