Brief Intro and curriculum

'mindr' is an R package that can convert a markdown file or multiple markdown files, such as steem posts, into one mindmap. mindr can also convert a mindmap into a markdown file, which can be a good start of your post. 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

The new version 1.1.7 brings more exciting features.

• Keep the LaTeX equations when converting markdown files into mindmaps, as a reply to specter119's comment.

  I used some regular expressions to extract the LaTeX codes from the markdown files, and changed them into extended mindmap syntax supported by Docear.

  Commit: keep LaTeX equations; re-organize the codes

• Convert .R scripts into R markdown (.Rmd) or markdown (.md) documents, and vice versa, so that users can convert .R scripts into mind maps by using mindr.

  I added two functions to convert the following elements in .R scripts into R markdown documents.

  • code (.R) ---> code block (.Rmd, .md)
  • comments beginning with # ---> text body (.Rmd, .md)
  • comments beginning with markdown headings ---> headings (.Rmd, .md)

  Commit: new features: conversion between .R and .md/.Rmd
