blogdown

I have tried a couple of approaches but none worked so far. I want to include an image preview for a blog post written in R markdown (.Rmd) on my main blog page where a number of posts and projects are generally shown. I can make it work in plain markdown (.md) using below code taken from the Hugo academic-theme here +++ # Optional image to display on homepage (relative to `static/img/` folder). image_preview = "bubbles.jpg" +++ The result would look as shown here (see section Projects ). However, I do not know how to translate this to the .Rmd yaml in my blog post. I can include an image at

Posts for the Hugo theme I am using are in the /content/blog directory, whereas the default for new posts created with blogdown::new_post() is the /content/post directory. From looking at the function definition, there is a global option to change the directory new posts are saved to (the help indicates this, too): new_post(title, kind = "default", open = interactive(), author = getOption("blogdown.author"), categories = NULL, tags = NULL, date = Sys.Date(), file = NULL, slug = NULL, subdir = getOption("blogdown.subdir", "post"), ext = getOption("blogdown.ext", ".md")) It looks like if I

I have followed tutorial by Yihui and created a website using blowdown , github and netlify . Now, I want to change theme of my website. The issue is that I have several posts that produces many plots. As a result when I create a new website locally and add my posts, git push fails. I suspect it is because I have too many files.

Is there a way to change theme of my website easier? Two ways of changing themes in blogdown, which are documented

The following chunk ```{r label1, echo=FALSE, fig.cap="Fancy caption", fig.fullwidth=TRUE} plot(1,1) ``` produces the plot and a caption that reads Figure 1: Fancy caption I'd like to be able to change the label such that, say, "Figure" becomes "Plot". I thought I could fix it in the same way as for bookdown : In the _bookdown.yml file I could have language: ui: chapter_name: "Chap " appendix_name: "App " label: fig: 'Plot ' tab: 'Fancy table ' but I'm not sure how to do something similar

After I updated R to 3.5, I found I couldn't render .Rmd file. I tried to reinstall the relevant packages, but it seemed it didn't solve the problem. More specifically, the error message is: blogdown:::serve_site() Rendering content/post/mypost.Rmd Fatal error: cannot open file 'C:/Users/John': No such file or directory Error in render_page(f) : Failed to render 'content/post/mypost.Rmd' My blogdown.Rproj is under the folder C:\Users\John Smith\Documents\GitHub\blogdown . I am not sure why the path in the error message only shows cannot open file 'C:/Users/John' , the remaining part of the
