Yes, this might be the case.

I would be fine with that. It would be great to include *.Rmd to the list.

Yes, I have. Junks work nicely for example I have an issue with the YAML
header (indentation gets lost) that I could not sort out so far. Right
now I am using this snippets tool more intensively for the preparation

I would like to work and test some more combinations of junks and other
snippets.
