Knitting to Word file (in a loop)-CodePudding

I would like to create Word files within a loop (one Word file for each school). Knitr seems not to have a knit2word function (but knit2html, knit2pdf etc.). Can this still be done?

schools <- c("A", "B", "C")

for(school in schools){
  knitr::knit("analysis.Rmd", output=paste0("stats_school ", school, ".R"))
}

The Rmd file starts like this:

---
title: "The title"
author: "My Name"
output: word_document
---

CodePudding user response：

To render your Rmd in a loop (whether to word or html or ... ) you could use rmarkdown::render:

schools <- c("A", "B", "C")

for(school in schools){
  rmarkdown::render("analysis.Rmd", output_file=paste0("stats_school ", school))
}
