Define an R Markdown output format

Description

Define an R Markdown output format based on a combination of knitr and pandoc options.

Usage

output_format(
  knitr,
  pandoc,
  keep_md = FALSE,
  clean_supporting = TRUE,
  df_print = NULL,
  pre_knit = NULL,
  post_knit = NULL,
  pre_processor = NULL,
  intermediates_generator = NULL,
  post_processor = NULL,
  on_exit = NULL,
  file_scope = NULL,
  base_format = NULL
)

Arguments

knitr	Knitr options for an output format (see knitr_options)
pandoc	Pandoc options for an output format (see pandoc_options)
keep_md	Keep the markdown file generated by knitting. Note that if this is TRUE then clean_supporting will always be FALSE.
clean_supporting	Cleanup any supporting files after conversion see render_supporting_files
df_print	Method to be used for printing data frames. Valid values include "default", "kable", "tibble", and "paged". The "default" method uses a corresponding S3 method of print, typically print.data.frame. The "kable" method uses the knitr::kable function. The "tibble" method uses the tibble package to print a summary of the data frame. The "paged" method creates a paginated HTML table (note that this method is only valid for formats that produce HTML). In addition to the named methods you can also pass an arbitrary function to be used for printing data frames. You can disable the df_print behavior entirely by setting the option rmarkdown.df_print to FALSE. See Data frame printing section in bookdown book for examples.
pre_knit	An optional function that runs before knitting which receives the input (input filename passed to render), metadata (the parsed front matter of the Rmd file) and ... (for future expansion) arguments. This function can be used to add side effects before knitting step.
post_knit	An optional function that runs after knitting which receives the metadata, input_file, runtime, and ... (for future expansion) arguments. This function can return additional arguments to pass to pandoc and can call knitr::knit_meta_add to add additional dependencies based on the contents of the input_file or on other assets side by side with it that may be used to produce html with dependencies during subsequent processing.
pre_processor	An optional pre-processor function that receives the metadata, input_file, runtime, knit_meta, files_dir, and output_dir and can return additional arguments to pass to pandoc.
intermediates_generator	An optional function that receives the original input_file, and the intermediates directory (i.e. the intermediates_dir argument to render). The function should generate and return the names of any intermediate files required to render the input_file.
post_processor	An optional post-processor function that receives the metadata, input_file, output_file, clean, and verbose parameters, and can return an alternative output_file.
on_exit	A function to call when rmarkdown::render() finishes execution (as registered with a on.exit handler).
file_scope	A function that will split markdown input to pandoc into multiple named files. This is useful when the caller has concatenated a set of Rmd files together (as bookdown does), and those files may need to processed by pandoc using the --file-scope option. The first argument is input file paths and the second is NULL or current file scope which is a named list of files w/ name and content for each file. The return is the new file scope. Also, the arguments should include ... for the future extensions.
base_format	An optional format to extend.

Value

An R Markdown output format definition that can be passed to render.
