BIDS in R – (it’s a start!)

The goal of bidser is to make working with the BIDS neuroimaging format convenient in R. Currently there is support for MRI data and some support for some fmriprep derivatives.

Albers theme

This package uses the albersdown theme. Existing vignette theme hooks are replaced so albers.css and local albers.js render consistently on CRAN and GitHub Pages. The defaults are configured via params$family and params$preset (family = ‘red’, preset = ‘homage’). The pkgdown site uses template: { package: albersdown } together with generated pkgdown/extra.css and pkgdown/extra.js so the theme is linked and activated on site pages.
