Editing CommunityData:Automating and Streamlining Walkthrough (section)

=== Automating ===

Automation can be extremely helpful, but it's an investment. You will not regret time spent on modest automation, in particular if you do computational work. You never want to be in the position of copy-pasting from R into LaTeX or Word: it is error prone and when you later find yourself needing to revise, you might not remember where you got that number from ....... instead, what you want is some automation magic, so that every time you run your R code, your new data and fresh visualizations land in your Overleaf. Example code for making this work is in the '''cdsc_examples/R_examples_repository/automation''' git repository. If you want to learn even more, there's [[Knitr_tutorial| a little tutorial on Knitr]], and here's [[CommunityData:Knitr | a more expanded guide]].
