Rmarkdown cache code#
One approach is to run the code once, store the results and do not run the code again on render. Solution 2 - Run the code once and store the resultsįor some code, such as benchmarking, fixing the code such that the output does not change is very difficult in principle, therefore we must find a workaround that would ensure the results stay untouched. We will try to categorize some of the reasons into groups.
My guess is that you upgraded Pandoc first, saw the diffs, then updated the rmarkdown package (from a very old version), which now defaults the html output format to html4 (which generatesAnd they are not always trivial - that is, unless your name is Yihui Xie :) This sounds like a reasonable thing to ask, however, there are many ways in which this assumption can be broken. As an introductory disclaimer, this post is not an exhaustive guide but merely a retrospect on the issues I faced and how I tackled them when writing posts for this blog using blogdown.įor this post, we would consider an R Markdown document reproducible if we can be sure that it produces identical rendered output as long as the content of the Rmd document, the data used within it and the rendering function stay the same. In this post, I will list a few sources of reproducibility issues I came across and how I tried to solve them. One of the challenges that stay is reproducibility of the rendered results. This can help us immensely when presenting data science type of work to audiences, while still being able to version control the content creation process. Weave.R Markdown is a great tool to use for creating reports, presentations and even websites that contain evaluated and rendered code. You can also set or change the default chunk options for a document either before weave using the set_chunk_defaults function. to set the default out_width of all figures you can use:. You can set the default chunk options (and weave arguments) for a document using weave_options key in YAML Header Configuration. fig_env = "figure": Figure environment in Latex.fig_pos = "!h": Figure position in Latex, e.g.: "ht".fig_ext: File extension (format) of saved figures.

out_height: Height of saved figure in output markup.out_width: Width of saved figure in output markup e.g.fig_height = 4: Figure height passed to plotting library.fig_width = 6: Figure width passed to plotting library.label = nothing: Chunk label, will be used for figure labels in Latex as fig:label.hold = false: Hold all results until the end of the chunk.line_width = 75: Line width for wrapped lines.wrap = true: Wrap long lines from output.Otherwise only stdout and figures will be included in output. term = false: If true the output emulates a REPL session."markup" for literal block, "hidden" for hidden results, or anything else for raw output (I tend to use "tex" for Latex and "rst" for rest). results = "markup": The output format of the printed results.echo = true: Echo the code in the output document.tangle = true: Set tangle to false to exclude chunk from tangled code.cache = false: Cache results, depending on cache parameter on weave function.If false, weave will halt on any of un-caught errors. error = true: If true weave won't stop on errors and rather they will be included in output document.Weave currently supports the following chunk options: we've mostly followed RMarkdown's namings, but not all options are implemented. All the following code chunk header are valid, and so configured to hide the source code from generated output ( echo = false) and displays figures with 12cm width ( out_width = "12cm"): ```julia echo = false out_width = "12cm" (RMarkdown style) options are separated by comma ( ,).(Julia's toplevel expression) options are separated by semicolon ( ).There are two (slightly) different syntax to write them: SyntaxĬhunk options come after code chunk header. Most of the ideas came from chunk options in RMarkdown. You can use chunk options to configure how each chunk is evaluated, rendered, etc.
