R Markdown File from Template

Create an R Markdown file using the "github_document" template.

rmd <- "gh-doc.Rmd"
rmarkdown::draft(
  rmd,
  template = "github_document",
  package = "rmarkdown",
  edit = FALSE
)
---
title: "Untitled"
output: github_document
---

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
```

## GitHub Documents

This is an R Markdown format used for publishing markdown documents to GitHub. 
When you click the **Knit** button all R code chunks are run and a markdown 
file (.md) suitable for publishing to GitHub is generated.

## Including Code

You can include R code in the document as follows:

```{r cars}
summary(cars)
```

## Including Plots

You can also embed plots, for example:

```{r pressure, echo=FALSE}
plot(pressure)
```

Note that the `echo = FALSE` parameter was added to the code chunk to prevent 
printing of the R code that generated the plot.

Now we’ll add some addresses to the message object and render the R Markdown.

msg %>%
  to("[email protected]") %>%
  from("[email protected]") %>%
  subject("Rendering an R Markdown Document") %>%
  render(rmd)

Dispatching the email results in the message below.

The message doesn’t need to look this generic. You can make your R Markdown documents as fancy as you want and {emayili} will be happy to send them.

Conclusion

If you haven’t tried {emayili} before, now is a great time to give it a shot. And if you use R for automated reporting, then being able to render R Markdown directly into an email should simplify your workflow.

I gave a talk about these new features (and most of the old features!) at the Birmingham R User Group. The slides are available here.
