When using servr::jekyll() on R, where should I save my Rmd files?

问题

With the Rmd files on root (eg. on my /knitr-jekyll/) they are turning into md files, but not on html files. Thus, they appear as simple markdown text. I tried to put them on /_source and on /_posts but it get's worse, in this case I also don't get the md files.

回答1:

I found creating a separate folder all together solves the problem.

/kintr-jekyll/_rmd/test.Rmd

But do remember that when you knit your Rmd to md that you knit to the _post folder if you using the standard bootstrap template. Also make sure that you specified your figure output. Easiest is to write some function which does this for you:

KnitPost <- function(input, base.url = "/") {
  require(knitr)
  opts_knit$set(base.url = base.url)
  fig.path <- paste0("figures/", sub(".Rmd$", "", basename(input)), "/")
  opts_chunk$set(fig.path = fig.path)
  opts_chunk$set(fig.cap = "center")
  render_jekyll()
  knit(input, envir = parent.frame())

Lastly, go make sure in your .md file in knitr-jekyll/_post that the figures are clearly referenced. This should be within your test.md:

<img align="middle" src="/figures/test/test_image.jpg">
