#======================================================================
# Create Markdown versions of R Markdown files.
#
# This is stored in a separate file so that rebuilding the site won't
# inadvertently trigger an attempt to turn R Markdown files into
# Markdown for people who don't want to install R and knitr. Run this
# using 'make -f rmd.mk' (which runs this directly) or 'make rmd'
# (which triggers a run from the main Makefile).

# Specify the default target before any other targets are defined so
# that we're sure which one Make will choose.
