Is there a way to knitr and produce .rmd files using the external tools function of the StatET Eclipse plugin?
One way to do it is to use an R snippet:
1) create a stateET R project, with this file https://raw.github.com/yihui/knitr-examples/master/001-minimal.Rmd in it.
2) in Windows-> Preferences -> StatET -> Run/Debug -> R Code Snippets
click "Add...". to create a new snipped called Rmd2html.content of the snippet:
file <- "${selected_resource_loc}"if (!nzchar) stop('Select a file first')library(knitr)library(markdown)library(tools)md_file <- knit(file)html_file <- paste(file_path_sans_ext(md_file), '.html', sep = '')markdownToHTML(md_file, html_file)click "OK", "OK".
3) back in your project, in the Project Explorer view, right click on the minimal.Rmd file,and select "Run Code Snippet in R -> Rmd2html"
This should generate the minimal.html file.
