I decided to add a feature that might be useful for some people. Sometimes it's easier for people to create a list of matchit or weightit objects by running the functions on imputed datasets rather than using matchthem() or weightthem(), but that leaves the user with a list of objects rather than something that cobalt functions can interpret. I added the functions as.mimids() and as.wimids() which allow a use to supply a list of such objects and the imputation object (e.g., the mids object), and the function constructs a mimids or wimids object, which work as though matchthem() or weightthem() had been called on the original imputation object with approach = "within".
I also updated the documentation to use markdown, which makes it easier to read and update. I made a few small changes here and there to the code, but nothing else major. I also bumped the version number up to 1.2.0. It should be ready to submit.
