<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hello JooYoung et al.,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The MakeBatch() command does one of two things. If you do not put in a filename, it creates a set of files in the current working directory, one of which is RmdBatch.bat<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The purpose of RmdBatch.bat is to allow the user the chance to use the dos prompt to issue the command<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> RmdBatch.bat test.Rmd<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">In which case the file test.Rmd is compiled using rmarkdown::render()<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The original intention was to allow users to move the RmdBatch.bat file to somewhere on the path and have the above line issued from any folder without needing to create the batch files again and again. Experiments
to date do not convince me that this works in every instance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">If however the user chooses a filename for MakeBatch(), then the batch file created is tailored to the file specified and either runs rmarkdown::render() for Rmd files, or the standard command line for batch
processing R script files. In this case, you would want the batch file to sit alongside the Rmd or R file it is linked to.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I definitely had RmdBatch.bat working when I first added it to the BrailleR package. I accept that it might not now be working as well, but I’m not convinced anyone wants the originally intended dos prompt way
of working anyway.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Your desire to process all Rmd files in a folder is a different problem and would need something different added to the MakeBatch() command. I think it is easily achieved so I’ll add it to the to-do list on GitHub.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:4.5pt"><span lang="EN-US"> I am writing this to ask you if there would be any way we could make RmdBatch file work in anywhere like the RBatch file.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:4.5pt"><span lang="EN-US"> Alternatively, I am using my batch file for rmarkdown file like the below:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:4.5pt"><span lang="EN-US">However, it works when there is only one .Rmd file in the current working directory.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:4.5pt"><span lang="EN-US"> As you see here, it is just provisional solution.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:4.5pt"><span lang="EN-US"> Do you know how we could make it work for any executed R markdown file?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
