trackmd
=======

RStudio addin for tracking changes in Markdown format. Inspired by
[Critic Markup](http://criticmarkup.com/).

Created at the RopenSci unconference. [Original
Issue](https://github.com/ropensci/unconf18/issues/76)

Main feature: `trackmd::trackChanges()`
=======================================

How to use:

1. Open up the .Rmd or .md you want to edit.
2. Run `trackmd::trackChanges(file)` where `file` is a character with
the path of the file you just opened.
3. Make some changes in the file.
4. Save the file.
5. See your changes in the viewer!
6. Run `servr::daemon_stop()`, then click in the .Rmd or .md you edited
to see the marked up file with changes.

Future
======

- \[ \] A little buggy. Fix those.
- \[ \] "Smarter" coloring: word by word instead of character by
character?
- \[ \] Addins to turn track changes on and off
- \[ \] Accept / reject changes
- \[ \] Communicate with track changes and comments in .docx files
(Ultimate goal of original issue! Collaborate seamlessly with Word
users.)
