for bold, subscripts and perhaps even tables to facilitate the subsequent matching of Word text to the RMarkdown file.
It would also be extremely useful if this package could add simple RMarkdown formatting to the scrapes, e.g. The officer package can already read Word documents, but not the tracked changes. Having an R package that can scrape Word documents along with tracked changes. I would be happy to collaborate with anyone interested in making this happen.Īdding a CriticMarkup plugin for RStudio. I believe we would need to work on several packages in order to make true collaboration possible between users of Word and RMarkdown. I'm not aware of a tool that makes incorporating diff files as easy as how Word reconciles changes, but if such a tool exists, then the process should be more seamless. I want to note that it seems that the only part that seems to be not so easy (compared to Microsoft Word normal working features) is replacing track changes with diff. if the lead author uses Word with tracked changes, I'll use the same things). I am NOT the lead author and I am NOT responsible for the statistical analysis: I would use whatever workflow the lead author uses (e.g.
Track changes how to#
In fact, using citation keys, it should be simple for collaborators to learn how to insert references themselves into the markdown text. The nice thing about this is that although I would have to handle the references myself, collaborators can directly add references to the Zotero group library. Reference management: I use Zotero, so I would use Better BibTeX for Zotero to handle references.The modified HTML comment ( ) is the one I would probably use. Comments between authors: I would select one of the options for markdown comments and teach my collaborators to use that when needed.To view and reconcile differences, I would simply use a diff tool I would find a good online one to teach my collaborators how to diff changes. Track changes: Collaborators would simply edit the markdown in plain text and submit their edited version.Basic markdown references: I would give them the core R Markdown references, which are their Pandoc Markdown documentation and their R Markdown cheat sheet.
For teaching them, the key features for people familiar with working with Microsoft Word and track changes are the following: I believe markdown is easy enough that anyone who is competent enough to collaborate on an article with data analysis is more than competent to learn markdown. I am the lead author, or I am responsible for the statistical analysis: I will require all collaborators to learn and use markdown (not R Markdown, just generic markdown) and I'll instruct them not to touch any R code.I haven't yet tried what I'm proposing, but here is how I plan to handle this, since I have exactly the same need.
