Questions tagged [pander]

pander is a Pandoc writer in R.

Pander can convert various objects to markdown with various helpers functions and a generic S3 method, from which the most often used function (pandoc.table) returns data.frame or table like R objects in grid, simple, multi-line or pipe table syntax.

Beside the pander method the package also contains some helpers to act like brew˙with a robust cache and other added features (e.g. capturing and auto-styling images) and to transform literate reports to HTML/pdf/odt/docx directly with the help of Pandoc.
