Solved: knitr syntax higlighting of file-stored stan code!

[Mike Lawrence]

I couldn't find anyone else posting this solution, so I thought I'd share what I came up with. You simply need to do:

```{r, echo=FALSE}

writeLines(

c(

'```{stan, output.var="mod"}'

, readLines('my_stan_model.stan')

,'```'

)

, con = 'my_stan_model.Rmd'

)

```

```{r , child = 'my_stan_model.Rmd'}

```

Note 1: If you're using an RStudio R Notebook, the stan code won't render in the notebook view but will render in the .nb.html file.

Note2: Running the latter chunk will trigger compilation of the model, stored for access from R in the object "mod".

With the RStudio preview

https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/preview/

you can do this more simply with the "knitr code externalization" thing.

Thanks---we need a knitr and bookdown best practices doc for Stan.
I'll volunteer to be the first customer.
