Overview

About

Maintained by Damien DottaCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Converts R scripts (.R) into 'Quarto' markdown documents (.qmd) with automatic formatting. Recognizes 'RStudio' code sections, preserves comments as narrative text, extracts metadata from special comments, and provides both programmatic functions and an interactive 'RStudio' add-in for easy conversion.

Changes in 1.1.1

New Features

**Roxygen2 Documentation Rendering**:
Roxygen2 documentation blocks (#') are now automatically formatted into structured callouts resembling pkgdown reference pages
Rendered documentation includes: title, source line reference, description, usage with function signature, arguments, return value, details, and examples
LaTeX-style formatting is automatically converted to Markdown:
\href{url}{text} becomes [text](url)
\code{text} becomes ` text `
\strong{text} becomes **text**
\emph{text} becomes *text*
Multi-line parameter descriptions and details are properly formatted
Custom sections (via @section) are supported and displayed

Bug Fixes

Show all changes in 1.1.1Hide the rest of the changes in 1.1.1

**CRAN Compliance**:
Added Words: qmd to DESCRIPTION to prevent spell-check warning
Added pattern ^CRAN_CHECKLIST_.*\.md$ to .Rbuildignore to exclude CRAN checklist files
**Metadata Processing**: Fixed issue where empty lines and comments between metadata fields were not properly ignored, creating unwanted empty code chunks
**Section Header Detection**: Improved regex pattern for hidden comments to correctly exclude RStudio section headers (##, ###, ####) from being filtered out

Documentation

Removed duplicate sections (Mermaid diagrams, Callouts) from advanced-features vignettes - these topics are now only in getting-started vignettes with correct syntax
Added comprehensive documentation for roxygen2 rendering feature

Install

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

install.packages("quartify", 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("ddotta/quartify")

Development version from ddotta/quartify. 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-quartify

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

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-quartify

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

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

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-quartify

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
