xbrlDoAll {XBRL}

Function to do all required work on an XBRL instance and its associated DTS.

A medium-level access can be achieved by using XBRL. A low-level access can be achieved by using the functions related to xbrlParse.

          verbose = FALSE, delete.cached.inst = TRUE)

Arguments

file.inst
