Install it

The package can be downloaded from CRAN

install.packages("commentr")

The latest development version can also be downloaded from Bitbucket using the devtools package:

devtools::install_bitbucket("cancercentrum/commentr")

Global options

This package can use global options to streamline your commenting. See ?commentr in R for details. If you have an .Rprofile file (Google it if you do not know) you are recommended to add the following lines to it:

options(
  name = "Your name", 
  contact = "Your contact details", 
  comment_width =  80
)

where 80 (change to preferd integer) is used as default for argument width in function comment_width.
