15  Reading in Texts (todo)

I guess you need to write text before you can read it. Until that time, check out our earlier Gathering Data tutorial, and the note on readtext in Section 10.1.

Note

Proposed chapter scope: Getting a collection of documents into a data frame. Covers readtext for a folder of txt, docx, or pdf files (check whether PDF support works in webR), including document variables from file names, and ready-made text collections such as gutenbergr. No new programming constructs are needed: readtext reads a whole folder without map.
