The function is_latex_output() returns TRUE when the output
format is LaTeX; it works for both .Rnw and R Markdown documents (for
the latter, the two Pandoc formats latex and beamer are
considered LaTeX output). The function is_html_output() only works for
R Markdown documents and will test for several Pandoc HTML based output
formats (by default, these formats are considered as HTML formats:
c('markdown', 'epub', 'epub2', 'html', 'html4', 'html5', 'revealjs', 's5',
'slideous', 'slidy', 'gfm')).
is_latex_output()
is_html_output(fmt = pandoc_to(), excludes = NULL)
pandoc_to(fmt, exact = FALSE)
pandoc_from(exact = FALSE)A character vector of output formats to be checked against. If not
provided, is_html_output() uses pandoc_to(), and
pandoc_to() returns the output format name.
A character vector of output formats that should not be considered as HTML format. Options are: markdown, epub, epub2, html, html4, html5, revealjs, s5, slideous, slidy, and gfm.
Whether to return or use the exact format name. If not, Pandoc extensions will be removed from the format name, e.g., latex-smart will be treated as latex.
The function pandoc_to() returns the Pandoc output format, and
pandoc_from() returns Pandoc input format. pandoc_to(fmt)
allows to check the current output format against a set of format names. Both
are to be used with R Markdown documents.
These functions may be useful for conditional output that depends on the
output format. For example, you may write out a LaTeX table in an R Markdown
document when the output format is LaTeX, and an HTML or Markdown table when
the output format is HTML. Use pandoc_to(fmt) to test a more specific
Pandoc format.
Internally, the Pandoc output format of the current R Markdown document is
stored in knitr::opts_knit$get('rmarkdown.pandoc.to'), and the
Pandoc input format in
knitr::opts_knit$get('rmarkdown.pandoc.from')
See available Pandoc formats, in Pandoc's Manual
