lssdoc: 'LimeSurvey' '.lss' Questionnaires to and from Word Documents

Turn a 'LimeSurvey' '.lss' survey export into a publication-quality questionnaire document in Word ('.docx') or PDF, with up to four of the survey's own languages side by side. Every label the package adds around that content – column headers, type names, the audit section – is written in English, French, German, Spanish or Italian, whatever the survey languages are. A rule-based audit flags missing translations, forward filter references, duplicate codes, array-scale inconsistencies and orphan structural references. Questionnaires travel the other way too: describe one in R, or fill in a Word form, and write a '.lss' file ready to import. Meant for the people who work on questionnaires – researchers, methodologists, ethics committees, translators and reviewers – and fully local: the source file is the only input, and no questionnaire content is uploaded to a third-party service.

Example surveys

Two example .lss files ship with the package and are reachable with base::system.file(), so every reader can reproduce the examples and the Get started vignette without supplying their own LimeSurvey export:

• demo_survey.lss – a clean, synthetic four-language survey (English, French, German, Spanish) with quotas and a consent block: system.file("extdata", "demo_survey.lss", package = "lssdoc").

• audit_demo.lss – a deliberately flawed survey seeded with every anomaly audit_lss() detects: system.file("extdata", "audit_demo.lss", package = "lssdoc").
