r2rmd: Parse R source file and return R markdown
In mefa4: Multivariate Data Handling with S4 Classes and Sparse Matrices

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Parses an R source file and returns an R markdown document that can be turned into a human readable documentation of what the source file does.

1	r2rmd(file, out=paste(file, "md", sep=""), header=TRUE, extra)

`file`	a file name or connection (see `readLines`.
`out`	an output file name passed to `writeLines`, or `NULL` (no file written).
`header`	logical, if a yaml header (enclosed between tribple dashes, `---`) is to be parsed.
`extra`	character, optional string that is placed into the code chunk openings.

Leading double hashes ## treated as non-code. Leading # followed by other than # is code comment. Leading # after whitespace is code comment. A newline is code when preceded and followed by code.

The leading double hash ## is trimmed for comment lines. R markdown chunk start/end stuff is added for code chunks. The argument extra adds chunk arguments, e.g. extra=', eval=FALSE' etc. See R markdown website at https://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/

Returns a character vector invisibly, and writes a file as a side effects unless out=NULL in which case no file is written.
