[R] R-specific Software Requirement Specification

[Bert Gunter]

Yes! ...

and you might consider writing your specifications along with example
R code using rmarkdown. The Rstudio GUI has a nice interface and
support tools (e.g. for compiling and previewing the doc) for writing
rmarkdown, but you can also load and use the package through whatever
R interface you prefer.  Rstudio  also has good support for git:
