Overlap with stylermd

Open lorenzwalthert opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Cool package. As I am working with R markdown a lot because of bookdown, I created stylermd to make markdown text fit a character limit. This is trivial for 80% of the cases, but then you get nested enumerations, latex equations ect. -.-

I am wondering how these two packages overlap? Also, stylermd will be integrated into styler (in the sense that styler will import functionality, stylermd will remain an independent package, https://github.com/r-lib/styler/issues/410) when matured. So this is not really an issue, just wanted to let you know about stylermd so we can discuss potential overlap. I am also happy for you to re-export the functionality if that is an option for you, but stylermd is not yet on CRAN and needs more user exposure.

Hey @lorenzwalthert,

Indeed there is a little bit of overlap in the general purpose :) {remedy} is designed to make writing in markdown easier, just as {stylermd}.

Not sure how these two overlap exactly though, {remedy} is more focused on helping during the writing, while {stylermd} is more "post production" (i.e. when the Rmd is written.

Any input on that @yonicd?
