Prework

• Read and agree to the code of conduct and contributing guidelines.
• If there is already a relevant issue, whether open or closed, comment on the existing thread instead of posting a new issue.
• New features take time and effort to create, and they take even more effort to maintain. So if the purpose of the feature is to resolve a struggle you are encountering personally, please consider first posting a "trouble" or "other" issue so we can discuss your use case and search for existing solutions first.
• Format your code according to the tidyverse style guide.

Proposal

targets-markdown is an interesting development, but many of us will continue to use a _targets.R based workflow and use_targets() was helpful for setting up such projects. I suggest reverting use_targets() to its original approach and adding use_targets_rmd() for the current functionality.
