epoxy: Super Glue for Data-driven Reports and Shiny Apps
summary
epoxy is an R package that turns glue-style braces into templating superpowers for R Markdown, Quarto, and Shiny by adding inline transformers for formatting (dollar, percent, ordinal, titlecase) and custom transformers (example: CPM to compute per‑month from annual cost). it uses glue under the hood and scales label functions, provides epoxy chunk / HTML / LaTeX engines, lets a labeled chunk act as a reusable template fed by a data frame row, and demonstrably renders readable outputs (e.g. $15,412 → ~$1,284/month and 23.8% of median income).
