.readText

A <code><a href="/link/character?package=R.rsp&version=0.15.0&to=base" rd-options="base" data-mini-rdoc="base::character">character</a></code> string specifying a local file or a URL,
     or a <code><a href="/link/connection?package=R.rsp&version=0.15.0&to=base%3Aconnections" rd-options="base:connections" data-mini-rdoc="base:connections::connection">connection</a></code>.

A <code><a href="/link/numeric?package=R.rsp&version=0.15.0&to=base" rd-options="base" data-mini-rdoc="base::numeric">numeric</a></code> scalar specifying the maximum age (in seconds)
     of cached URL contents before downloading and recaching.
     If zero or less, the URL will always be downloaded.

The RSP markup language makes any text-based document come alive.  RSP provides a powerful markup for controlling the content and output of LaTeX, HTML, Markdown, AsciiDoc, Sweave and knitr documents (and more), e.g. 'Today's date is <%=Sys.Date()%>'.  Contrary to many other literate programming languages, with RSP it is straightforward to loop over mixtures of code and text sections, e.g. in month-by-month summaries.  RSP has also several preprocessing directives for incorporating static and dynamic contents of external files (local or online) among other things.  Functions rstring() and rcat() make it easy to process RSP strings, while rfile() compiles RSP files (also online) into their final outputs, e.g. rfile('report.tex.rsp') generates 'report.pdf'.  RSP is ideal for self-contained scientific reports and R package vignettes.

.readText function

When reading online URLs, it may take time a significant time to
  read its content.  If the content is changing rarely, it is possible
  to cache the content locally.  If a cached version is found, then it
  is read instead.
  It is possible to control how often a file should be recached.  If the
  cache is older than argument <code>maxAge</code> (in seconds), then the file
  is redownloaded and recached.

Caching URL

All occurances of <code>\r\n</code> and <code>\r</code> are replaced with
  <code>\n</code> such that all lines are ending in <code>\n</code> regardless
  of encoding.
