accessr

Provides functions to produce accessible 'HTML' slides, 'HTML', 'Word' and 'PDF' documents from input 'R markdown' files. Accessible 'PDF' files are produced only on a 'Windows' Operating System. One aspect of accessibility is providing a headings structure that is recognised by a screen reader, providing a navigational tool for a blind or partially-sighted person. A key aim is to produce documents of different formats easily from each of a collection of 'R markdown' source files. Input 'R markdown' files are rendered using the render() function from the 'rmarkdown' package . A 'zip' file containing multiple output files can be produced from one function call. A user-supplied template 'Word' document can be used to determine the formatting of an output 'Word' document. Accessible 'PDF' files are produced from 'Word' documents using 'OfficeToPDF' . A convenience function, install_otp() is provided to install this software. The option to print 'HTML' output to (non-accessible) 'PDF' files is also available.
