Convert to GitHub Flavored Markdown


Description

Format for converting from R Markdown to GitHub Flavored Markdown.

Usage

github_document(
  toc = FALSE,
  toc_depth = 3,
  number_sections = FALSE,
  fig_width = 7,
  fig_height = 5,
  dev = "png",
  df_print = "default",
  includes = NULL,
  md_extensions = NULL,
  hard_line_breaks = TRUE,
  pandoc_args = NULL,
  html_preview = TRUE,
  keep_html = FALSE
)

Arguments

toc

TRUE to include a table of contents in the output

toc_depth

Depth of headers to include in table of contents

number_sections

TRUE to number section headings

fig_width

Default width (in inches) for figures

fig_height

Default height (in inches) for figures

dev

Graphics device to use for figure output (defaults to png)

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.

includes

Named list of additional content to include within the document (typically created using the includes function).

md_extensions

Markdown extensions to be added or removed from the default definition or R Markdown. See the rmarkdown_format for additional details.

hard_line_breaks

TRUE to generate markdown that uses a simple newline to represent a line break (as opposed to two-spaces and a newline).

pandoc_args

Additional command line options to pass to pandoc

html_preview

TRUE to also generate an HTML file for the purpose of locally previewing what the document will look like on GitHub.

keep_html

TRUE to keep the preview HTML file in the working directory. Default is FALSE.

Details

See the online documentation for additional details on using the github_document format.
