Overview

About

Maintained by Zhian N. KamvarFirst published 2022-08-194 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Parsing '(R)Markdown' files with numerous regular expressions can be fraught with peril, but it does not have to be this way. Converting '(R)Markdown' files to 'XML' using the 'commonmark' package allows in-memory editing via of 'markdown' elements via 'XPath' through the extensible 'R6' class called 'yarn'. These modified 'XML' representations can be written to '(R)Markdown' documents via an 'xslt' stylesheet which implements an extended version of 'GitHub'-flavoured 'markdown' so that you can tinker to your hearts content.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)

install.packages("tinkr", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("ropensci/tinkr")

Development version from ropensci/tinkr. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-tinkr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-tinkr

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
