In clarabicalho/replica: Helpers for Formatting and Publishing Results

Replication scripts can be posted on a number of wesbites. Below are snippets that can be used to post on a Github repository or posted directly on the Wordpress platform.

Wordpress site

Below we use the RWordPress package developed by Duncan Temple Lang (here). It allows users to send an already compiled .html file to a Wordpress website as a blog post by entering your credentials and blog post-related fields.

if (!require('RWordPress')) {
  # RWordPress and XMLRPC need to be installed from Github
  devtools::install_github(c("duncantl/XMLRPC", "duncantl/RWordPress"))
}
library(knitr)
library(RWordPress)
library(readr)

# File (include full path if the file is not contained in current directory)
html.file =  "20190717_Replication.html"
text = paste(read_lines(html.file, skip = 18), collapse = "\n")

# Set config options (fill in 'username' and 'password' fields)
options(WordpressLogin = c(username = 'password'),
        WordpressURL = 'http://www.mywebsite.nyc/xmlrpc.php')

# Post content/html code goes in 'description'
# Set 'title' to blog post (in this case paper) title
# Set 'publish = FALSE' to create draft post, 'TRUE' to publish post directly
newPost(
  list(description = text, 
       categories = c("Replication"),
       title = "Replication: Humphreys, Sanchez de la Sierra, van der Windt (2019)"
       ), 
  publish = FALSE)

See ?RWordPress for further documentation on RWordPress package functions.

Github repository

Compiled .md files will display nicely once they are uploaded to Github. This can be done by editing the output field in the .Rmd YAML:

output: rmarkdown::github_document

or, alternatively, setting keep_md = TRUE.

output: 
  html_document:
    keep_md: true
