Shouldn't be the input file of same datatype of the base-file ?
In general there is not that difference between .csv and .txt, but in the substitution there it is right now important that the datatype is the same ( because this would cause the need of editing the main.Rmd where this file is gonna get read). Or am i wrong?

Well, how do you know that the .txt file does not contain comma-seperated values?
I updated the example accordingly.

@Fmazin is there any way to model "drafts" in an Open API spec? There is this PR with a few good ideas, and I'm about to open another one, changing and/or extending the API. I'm wondering how to best capture that. |

Outdated, spec is now based on Swagger. Also unclear if this will be realised. |

A draft to support direct file upload during substitution, i.e. a user selects a file from the browser instead of from the overlay ERC.
There is an Angular directive: https://github.com/adonespitogo/angular-base64-upload
@TeKraft This should be straightforward in Node.js on the server, see http://www.hacksparrow.com/base64-encoding-decoding-in-node-js.html
