Convert (a) markdown file(s) into a mindmap

Create a folder named mm in the working directory (getwd()), and drop some markdown or rmarkdown files into mm/. Run:

mindr::md2mm()

then you will get a mm.mm file. Open it with any mind-map (brainstorm) software, and you will get a mind map.

Plenty of cross-platform and online mindmap software suits are available (see the list), among which freemind and Xmind are highly recommended.

Extract the outline from (a) markdown files

mindr::outline()

Have fun!
