Convert markdown to HTML using knit() and markdownToHTML()
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.
knit2html(
input,
output = NULL,
...,
envir = parent.frame(),
text = NULL,
quiet = FALSE,
encoding = "UTF-8",
force_v1 = getOption("knitr.knit2html.force_v1", FALSE)
)input |
Path to the input file. |
output |
Path to the output file for |
... |
Options passed to |
envir |
Environment in which code chunks are to be evaluated, for
example, |
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. |
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.
The markdown package is for R Markdown v1, which is much less
powerful than R Markdown v2, i.e. the rmarkdown package
(https://rmarkdown.rstudio.com). To render R Markdown v2 documents to
HTML, please use rmarkdown::render() instead.

# a minimal example
writeLines(c("# hello markdown", "```{r hello-random, echo=TRUE}", "rnorm(5)", "```"),
"test.Rmd")
knit2html("test.Rmd")
if (interactive()) browseURL("test.html")
unlink(c("test.Rmd", "test.html", "test.md"))Please choose more modern alternatives, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
