Convert an Reversible Document back to R Markdown

Converts a document originally created with redoc() back to R Markdown, including changes made to text in MS Word.

dedoc(docx, to = NULL, dir = ".", track_changes = "comments_only",
  block_missing = "comment", inline_missing = "omit",
  wrap = getOption("redoc.wrap", 80), overwrite = FALSE,
  orig_docx = NULL, orig_codefile = NULL, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

docx	The `.docx`` file to convert
to	the filename to write the resulting .Rmd file. The default is to use the same basename as the docx document
dir	The directory to write the `.Rmd`` to. Defaults to current working directory
track_changes	How to deal with tracked changes and comments in the .docx file. "accept" accepts all changes, and "reject" rejects all of them. The default, "criticmarkup", converts the tracked changes to Critic Markup syntax. "comments_only" will only convert comments, as other changes can be viewed with redoc_diff(). "all" marks up tracked changes and comments in <span> tags and is useful for debugging. See the pandoc manual for details.
block_missing, inline_missing	What to do about code blocks or inline code whose output has been removed in the editing of the Word document. "restore" attempts to restore the code as close to its original location in the document as possible. "comment" will do so but wrap it in HTML comments. "omit" will not restore the code at all.
wrap	The width at which to wrap text. If NA, text is not wrapped. Set the default with "redoc.wrap" in options().
overwrite	Whether to overwrite an existing file
orig_codefile, orig_docx	The original .codelist.yml or Word document created when the document was first knit. Useful for debugging, or in cases where the word file has been corrupted or transformed, for instance, by copy-and-pasting the content into a new file. If provided, dedoc will use this codefile or word file to re-create the .Rmd file with the text of the input.
verbose	whether to print pandoc progress text

Details

R chunks may be lost in the editing process if using non-Microsoft word processors (e.g. LibreOffice or in copy-and-pasting text into a new document.
