To apply it to a custom Rmd file, one needs open the Makefile in a textĮditor and change the value assigned to MAIN (line 13) to the base name of A sample Makefile for rendering the above sample.Rmd can be $ Rscript -e "rmarkdown::render('sample.Rmd', output_format='BiocStyle::html_document', clean=TRUE)"Īlternatively, one can use a Makefile to evaluate and render an R Markdown
To render to PDF format, use the argument setting: output_format="pdf_document".
The following shows two options how to run the rendering from the command-line. rmarkdown::render("sample.Rmd", clean=TRUE, output_format="BiocStyle::html_document") Alternatively, one can specify several output formats in the metadata section. The setting output_format="all" will generateĪll supported output formats.
