Details

This function takes a SAS file containing special mark up in it's comments, and converts it into knitr's "spin" format. This is in turn sent to knitr::spin, and converted to Markdown and HTML (or one of several other formats).

Special Markup:

• "** " - Begin document text

• "*+ " - Begin chunk header

• "*R " - Begin a chunk of R code

• "*/* " - Dropped from document, ends with "*/*"

Each document element - document text, chunk headers, R code chunks, and SAS code chunks - ends with a semicolon at the end of a line.

Value

The path to the output file.

If given text instead of a file, returns the compiled document as a character string.
