rmd: Easily Install and Load the R Markdown Family

Introduction

Since ‘rmarkdown’ and ‘knitr’, more and more members (rticles, bookdown, mindr…) have been joining the R Markdown family. The installation and maintenance becomes annoying. With ‘rmd’ you can easily install and load them. Furthermore, ‘rmd’ provides a RStudio addin to explore the R Markdown family.

Forget R, and enjoy the wonderful world of R Markdown.
