The text file does not need to be a .md file. The function merely relies on the assumption that
paragraphs are separated by an empty line, based on markdown formatting. This allows for typing up
paragraphs in a plain text file using this convenient formatting, to be read into R wherever paragraphs of
text are needed in an app.
Common uses include returning a vector of strings to be used as text for each tour step description
in an introjs tour (ptag=FALSE and collapse=FALSE, the default)
or a collapsed string of html text (ptag=TRUE and collapse=TRUE) for an app description.
