How to bundle pandoc with shinylive app?

[willgearty]

I'm trying to use rmarkdown in my shinylive app to render an HTML file from an rmarkdown file (via the shinymeta package). However, it appears that pandoc is not included in the wasm version of rmarkdown. I see there is a wasm version of pandoc available (https://github.com/tweag/pandoc-wasm). Is there a way to bundle it with my shinylive app in such a way that rmarkdown will recognize it?

Same goes for a replacement for utils::zip().

zip::zip() and {archive} work fine! Also utils::tar() if you don't mind the format.

Oh, perfect, thanks @lgaborini!

Perhaps @georgestagg has insight into how to bundle pandoc with a shinylive app? (since I believe he had also made a wasm version of pandoc)

AFAICT this should be possible, but we haven't yet worked through the deep technical specifics to make it happen yet.

Gotcha. I'll just sit tight for now and work around it.
