Make the Most of R Markdown YAML Front Matter • rmdmatter

The goal of rmdmatter is to help you make the most of the YAML front matter in your R Markdown document.

Installation

You can install the development version of rmdmatter from GitHub with:

remotes::install_github("mikmart/rmdmatter")

Example

Use your YAML front matter to rename an output file rendered with rmdmatter::render():

library(rmdmatter)

output_file <- render(input_file)
rename_rendered(output_file, function(metadata) {
  with(metadata, paste(title, "by", author, "on", date))
})

Or use a rmdmatter::renderer in the knit field to integrate with the RStudio Knit button:

---
title: "Untitled"
author: "Jane Doe"
date: "`r Sys.Date()`"
output: html_document
knit: |
  rmdmatter::renaming_renderer(function(metadata) {
    with(metadata, paste(title, "by", author, "on", date))
  })
---
