knit2html: Convert markdown to HTML using knit() and markdownToHTML()

Description

This is a convenience function to knit the input markdown source and call markdown::markdownToHTML() in the markdown package to convert the result to HTML.

Usage

knit2html(
  input,
  output = NULL,
  ...,
  envir = parent.frame(),
  text = NULL,
  quiet = FALSE,
  encoding = "UTF-8",
  force_v1 = FALSE
)

Arguments

input

Path to the input file.

output

Path to the output file for knit(). If NULL, this function will try to guess a default, which will be under the current working directory.

...

Options passed to markdown::markdownToHTML().

envir

Environment in which code chunks are to be evaluated, for example, parent.frame(), new.env(), or globalenv()).

text

A character vector. This is an alternative way to provide the input file.

quiet

Boolean; suppress the progress bar and messages?

encoding

Encoding of the input file; always assumed to be UTF-8 (i.e., this argument is effectively ignored).

force_v1

Boolean; whether to force rendering the input document as an R Markdown v1 document, even if it is for v2.

Value

If the argument text is NULL, a character string (HTML code) is returned; otherwise the result is written into a file and the filename is returned.
