Round trips: Rmd --> Google Doc --> Rmd

[jennybc]

Of course this would be fantastic. For the moment, however, we are focusing on the one way trip: Rmd :arrow_right: Google Doc. It is not clear how to un-knit a document and is not specific to Google Docs.

A few links I'm collecting relevant to round tripping and authoring Google Docs natively (vs via Word docx conversion on Google Drive):

• Converting document formats with Pandoc. Iintermediate JSON based abstract syntax tree (AST) representation of the document. Manipulating the AST.
• Structure of a document. "A Google Doc is structured much like an HTML document".
• gdoc Structure Viewer, gdoc2json on GitHub (via @dani-lbnl).

Relevant (from the original unconf issue): two-way knitting of .Rhtml: https://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~paul/Reports/invert/invert.html

This package was an experiment at an unconf and its development has stopped. The repo will become read-only.
