liftr with LaTeX and .Rnw filetypes #43

Closed josephsdavid closed 6 years ago

josephsdavid commented 6 years ago

Hello, I am working on creating a framework for reproducible research using knitr+LaTeX on .Rnw files (the ability to embed any programming language into a single source document is amazing), and was wondering if there is any implementation for that with liftr, or if I could create a pull request and start working on that.

Hello @josephsdavid -hmm, interesting idea that made me think. This might sound personal, and no offense... but I do believe the R Markdown format can completely replace the Rnw format in 2018. Here's my reasoning:

Thus I cannot really see any added value by supporting the Rnw format here in liftr, and everyone should just use R Markdown whenever possible.

Ah I didn’t know about the custom LaTeX templates! That’s huge, thank you! Going to just do that instead

-yes! It's a pretty powerful customization mechanism and also helps separating the content (Rmd) and style (TeX) better. 👍

Yep that was sort of the goal with LaTeX, but I still find styling my document still taking over, thank you very much!
