github_markdown for rmarkdown — markdown

Custom template with github-flavoured markdown based on the standard rmarkdown::html_document(). Adds +pipe_tables, +raw_html, +tex_math_single_backslash, +fenced_code_blocks, +auto_identifiers, +ascii_identifiers, +backtick_code_blocks, +autolink_bare_uris, +intraword_underscores, +strikeout, +hard_line_breaks over markdown_strict. A number of pandoc features are disabled (see markdown_custom_options()), but +yaml_metadata_block is re-enabled, so that it is possible to specify this output function using YAML.

Arguments

fragment.only: whether to get only a html fragment
break_on_error: should an error in the R code execution interrupt the rendering or should rendering continue, defaults to FALSE
