statcheck 1.6.0

Changed the way pdf files are converted to text. Initially, statcheck relied on the external program Xpdf, which needed to be installed separately and added to the path. To simplify the workflow (and also have improved pdf conversions) statcheck now uses the R package pdftools.
Updated the test files for testing text-to-file. Before, I hard coded the true values statcheck should extract, but this was error prone. Now, there is a spreadsheet with manually extracted values (the gold standard) that is used as a reference. This is easier to update if necessary; the updates then only need to happen in one place (the spreadsheet) and no longer at multiple places in the code.

Added a new function trim() to quickly show the most relevant columns of statcheck output.
Simplified regular expression to detect chi-square test. There were some unused/unnecessary parts in the regexes.
Also recognize lower case n in sample size reporting in chi-square tests. E.g.: chi2(12, n = 323) = ...
Recognize "narrow non-breaking spaces" in HTML files. This was an issue in articles in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, especially in papers published in 2019

Fixed some CRAN issues: explicitly import the package stringi and fix package alias.
