Hello, I want to write an academic paper with obsidian and R. I need to use R with the bookdown package or the distill package to generate the paper.
Within R I will push the html file to my GitHub repository or I generate a pdf-document.
What is the appropriate way to combine md files within obsidian an getting them in a logical order for a single file (.md) that I can then use in R?
I don’t use R, so it may not be the same… But I use pandoc to convert my .md to latex. I just copy-paste the various files into one for that purpose, no hassle at all. I use inline footnotes, but don’t think that makes a difference.
If you are comfortable with the command line, this is the intended purpose of cat
.
cat file1.md file2.md file3.md > combined_file.md
It also works across a directory with glob expansion:
cat project/*.md > combined_project.md
cat
should be available on any Linux or Mac machine.
I create a note with the links to notes that I want to include in my draft — a python script then collects them into one .md draft and sends it to pandoc > to > PDF. You can try the same approach — just process the final .Rmd with bookdown.
Hello, that’s sounds good. Can you giva a exampale of your python script. THX.
I use Windows …
type
is an equivalent to cat
that is built into Windows:
type file1.md file2.md > result.md
