Render an R Markdown or Quarto document and open the output

Source: R/render.R

An R program is generated with the name of path sans extension, appended with "-render.R". This contains a header and a call to rmarkdown::render or quarto::quarto_render. This program is then executed from its directory and the output file is optionally opened.

The generated R program is not modified if it already exists, but the program is examined to confirm it calls rmarkdown::render or rmarkdown::render.
