R Notebook Support #3519

Open AndreasThinks opened 3 years ago

AndreasThinks commented 3 years ago

Apologies if this has already been requested, but it doesn't look like there is native support for R notebooks. While you can just add the HTML export, it's leads to some awkward bits of HTML not lining up quite right - would be a fantastic addition!

Support for new input formats won’t be added to Nikola core — we prefer to focus on a few popular formats that we can maintain and offer extra features for. However, we always welcome contributions to the Plugins Index, and we have quite a few input formats there already. You can write a plugin for R Notebooks (the Nikola side shouldn’t be hard; convincing R to output nicer HTML is another thing) and contribute it there. Also, you might want to consider using Jupyter with the R kernel (for which we have support in core).
