## using the moral foundation dictionary example from quanteda
dictfile <- tempfile()
download.file("http://bit.ly/37cV95h", dictfile)
data(keyATM_data_bills)
bills_dfm <- keyATM_data_bills$doc_dfm
keyATM_docs <- keyATM_read(bills_dfm)
read_keywords(file = dictfile, docs = keyATM_docs, format = "LIWC")
