**This project is still at an early stage of development. Please do not use it in production. Contributions welcome!**

**See also the [panlang](https://github.com/TianyiShi2001/panlang) project, which will provide the language engines for knitr-js.**

**knit-js** and **xmd** are implementations of R's **[knitr](http://yihui.name/knitr/)** and **[R Markdown](https://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/)** in Node.js.

## What does knit-js Do

- execute code chunks in `.xmd` files and generate output with customizable behaviour
- compute and renders javascript code snippets
- render `.xmd` into `.md`, then uses `pandoc` to generate various output formats, including pdf, html, docx
