#' Convert metadata between markdown and EML
#' 
#' @description
#' Ecological Metadata Language (EML) is a common 
#' framework for describing ecological datasets so they can be shared and reused. 
#' `delma` supports users to write metadata statements in R Markdown or Quarto 
#' Markdown for greater transparency and ease-of-use, then convert them to 
#' EML for efficient transfer.
