Exporting to Different Filetypes

Christian Testa edited this page Jun 1, 2017 · 4 revisions

The web-app as well as the commandline package functions allow users to render reports in a variety of file-formats, as supported by Pandoc, a universal document converter. The html_2_pandoc function in my package converts HTML, as constructed by the QualtricsTools app or functions, and renders it to files. Typically these are docx files, and this is the default behavior. However, occasionally a report is so large that it cannot successfully be rendered to docx directly, or for other reasons other filetypes are preferred.

Not only does html_2_pandoc support many different filetypes, but since make_results_tables and make_text_appendices are built on top of html_2_pandoc, they also automatically support the filetypes Pandoc supports.
