  Description     : GNU R tool to convert R Markdown documents into a variety of formats

R Markdown is a framework for creating documents that mix R code with
markdown to produce visually pleasing, high quality and reproducible
reports. It supports various output formats, including HTML, PDF,
Microsoft Word and Beamer.

---

The package is a soft reverse build dependency of Snakemake (which is
currently patched to not execute the test in its test suite that depends
on rmarkdown), and a quick search shows that other R packages in the
archive could interact with it as well (eg. r-cran-fitbitscraper
suggests it).

There is already the r-cran-markdown package whose description
acknowledges rmarkdown as a "newer and enhanced version of this markdown
package".
