Hello
Is it possible to use (RStudio's) rmarkdown package as a vignette
builder for the upcoming release?
ie, with the (at least locally working) configuration
DESCRIPTION
Suggests: knitr, rmarkdown, BiocStyle
VignetteBuilder: knitr
vignette/vignette.Rmd
---
title: ...
output: BiocStyle::html_document
vignette: >
%% \VignetteEngine{knitr::rmarkdown}
%% \VignetteIndexEntry{...}
----
I couldn't find any explicit reference to markdown vs rmarkdown in the
package guidelines. The documentation for [BiocStyle] indicates that it
isn't possible to build package vignettes with the newer rmarkdown - is
that still correct?
I note that the newer [rmarkdown] is now in CRAN, so presumably can be
used by the builders - but do they have the non-R dependency (pandoc)
available?
The rationale for wanting rmarkdown instead markdown is support for a
few extended features, particularly being able to cite from a bibtex
file (which as far as I know isn't possible with the older markdown).
Thanks
