If you recall, we started the TFL Generator as a validated tool for regulatory submissions. That said, it can be made flexible enough to be used for internal decision making as well. This is more of sounding ideas and not to divert from the ongoing efforts of adding functionalities as already laid out.
Here's another tool we could look in to. At first glance, it's quite an improvement over the rtf
package we're using now:

Yes, have seen that package.. Great! Thank you for the update.
Move to creating markdown / Rmd files, and then rendering to the desired output with
knitr
andpandoc
. A big benefit of doing so would be the ability to make a much more refined looking document using, for example, a LaTex template.In fact, maybe the only output from the app would be an Rmd. Users could render this to get the desired output, or edit as necessary. Behaves much better than docx with diff tools, and would reduce the backend of the app by getting rid of the explicit rtf creation.
Is this OK to Amgen, or do we still want to carry explicit creation of the rtf?
