define-package

<p><span class="pkg">define</span> helps you create 'define.pdf' and associated file tree
for FDA-style submission of analysis datasets, etc.
It converts csv files to SAS Transport V. 5 'xpt' format,
using metadata encoded in a specification file. It enforces
the 'txt' extension for other (presumably ASCII) files.</p>

Creates a directory of archived files with a descriptive 'PDF'
document at the root level (i.e. 'define.pdf') containing tables
of definitions of data items and relative-path hyperlinks to
the documented files. Converts file extensions to 'txt' per FDA
expectations and converts 'CSV' files to 'SAS' Transport format.
Relies on data item descriptors stored as per R package 'spec'.
See 'package?define'. See also '?define'.
Requires a compatible installation of 'pdflatex',
e.g. <https://miktex.org/>.
