Convert a Word table to Markdown
The blog post describes a function created by the author to convert Microsoft Word tables into Govspeak Markdown, which is needed for publishing HTML files on GOV.UK. This process is typically tedious and demands attention to specific Govspeak features such as row labels and totals columns. The author introduces an R package named {wordup} that includes the function table_to_govspeak(), which handles input, guesses data types, and applies extra styles to the table conversion. It streamlines moving content from Word to Govspeak, which can be further facilitated by copying tables to the clipboard.
