Brief Intro and curriculum

'mindr' is an R package that can convert files between (R)markdown, R scripts, and mind maps. A brief introduction can be found in one of my previous posts:

• [New Project] mindr: an R package that creates a markdown post out of a mind map

• [New Features] mindr supports tibble dataframes!

• [New Features on mindr] Supports the new format of FreeMind. Displays mind maps directly. Supports bookdown projects.

• [New Features on mindr] Support LaTeX Equations. Conversion between .R scripts and .Rmd documents

New Features

Commit: convertion between .Rmd, .R. and .mm

The new version 1.1.8 mainly brings two exciting features.

• yihui suggested that comments .R scripts can be written in a predefined strategy, which is very friendly. I improved this strategy with some modification, and added a new pair of functions, i.e. mindr::r2rmd() and mind::rmd2r(), which convert a file between .R script and .Rmd document smoothly. An example .R script is given here.

• jiaming suggested that it would be perfect if the cycle of mindr can be complete. Hence, I added another new pair of functions, i.e. mindr::r2mm() and mindr::mm2r(), which convert a file between .R script and .mm mind maps.

  The complete cycle is illustrated in the following figure. Note that the dashed lines mean that it converts only the outline of the file.
