rmd file support
Would love to have R Studio markdown format support, not only markdown format. (we have rm file support, just add rmd too).

What would be the use case for this? AFAIK, RStudio can convert R Markdown to PDF.
You can sometimes get raw rmd files and need to resend as pdf to non rstudio users or even from computers lacking rstudio or other tool able to do the conversion; BTW, it will broaden possibilities for markdown-to-pdf tool.
Not sure if there are any other ways to accomplish this, but it seems like the only way to convert this is going from RMD->MD->HTML->PDF. But the RMD->MD steps would require Rscript and that requires R/RStudio. I guess we could have this in the full version, but I have no idea what the size of the dependencies for this are.
Thanks, Eric, for your reply with details. I hope to see this become a useful option for many people (in fact I am a sporadic user of this functionality). Cheers
