litedown-package

Markdown is a plain-text format that can be converted to HTML and other
formats. This package can render R Markdown to Markdown, and then to an
output document format. The main differences between this package and
rmarkdown are that it does not use Pandoc or knitr (i.e., fewer
dependencies), and it also has fewer Markdown features.

Render R Markdown to Markdown (without using 'knitr'), and Markdown
to lightweight HTML or 'LaTeX' documents via the bundled 'cmark-gfm' library
(instead of 'Pandoc'). Some missing Markdown features in 'cmark-gfm' are also
supported, such as raw HTML or 'LaTeX' blocks, 'LaTeX' math, superscripts,
subscripts, footnotes, element attributes, and appendices,
but not all 'Pandoc' Markdown features are (or will be) supported. With
additional JavaScript and CSS, you can also create HTML slides and articles.
This package can be viewed as a trimmed-down version of R Markdown and
'knitr'. It does not aim at rich Markdown features or a large variety of
output formats (the primary formats are HTML and 'LaTeX'). Book and website
projects of multiple input documents are also supported.
