rticle: Convert a Markdown manuscript into a Quarto document

In inti: Tools and Statistical Procedures in Plant Science

Convert a Markdown manuscript into a Quarto document

Description

Reads a Markdown file exported from Google Docs and converts it into a Quarto-compatible manuscript. The function detects and separates text, figures, and tables, removes formatting artifacts, restores equations embedded as image placeholders, and inserts format-specific section breaks. The resulting document can be rendered directly using Quarto for HTML, Word, or PDF outputs.

Usage

rticle(file = "draft.md", export = "files", type = c("asis", "list"))

Arguments

file	Character string indicating the path to the Markdown file. Default is "draft.md".
export	Character string specifying the output directory where the generated .qmd file will be saved. If NULL, the directory name is derived from the input file name.
type	Character string indicating how the manuscript should be organized. "asis" preserves the original structure, whereas "list" rearranges the content into text, figures, and tables.

Value

A character vector containing the full path of the generated Quarto (.qmd) file.
