Worth mentioning R Markdown to Word, which is the step before getting fancy with officedown.

Security of these files is probably part of this conversation, right?

How can you ensure sensitive information is safe during the transfer of a draft from you to your non-programmer pals? For example: secure email, secure shared drives, web-based secure file transfer, and solutions like password-protected HTML with encryptedRmd.

We used the old copy and paste from an R markdown document for a section of our recent report. Also quite funny as we can't download image files from R studio - it always marks them as a virus. So we have to save them as .txt and convert them once they're downloaded - very much school memories there. I think a really useful workstream would be getting templates from Word research documents transferred to markdown.
