lssdoc: 'LimeSurvey' '.lss' Questionnaires to and from Word Documents

Turn a 'LimeSurvey' '.lss' survey export into a publication-quality questionnaire document in Word ('.docx') or PDF, with up to four of the survey's own languages side by side. Every label the package adds around that content – column headers, type names, the audit section – is written in English, French, German, Spanish or Italian, whatever the survey languages are. A rule-based audit flags missing translations, forward filter references, duplicate codes, array-scale inconsistencies and orphan structural references. Questionnaires travel the other way too: describe one in R, or fill in a Word form, and write a '.lss' file ready to import. Meant for the people who work on questionnaires – researchers, methodologists, ethics committees, translators and reviewers – and fully local: the source file is the only input, and no questionnaire content is uploaded to a third-party service.
