Next to that, the RStudio global and project options provide some additional settings. The most important are specifications you can provide in the YAML header of your R Markdown document. There are various places where you can specify things that impact working with citations. Preparing your R Markdown document to work with citations In this tutorial, we assume you are familiar with the basics of R Markdown or Bookdown. To switch between source mode and VME, press the button Moreover, the VME mode has more functionalities for citations than the source mode.

This interface is similar to writing documents in word processing software (google docs, MS Word, …). VME is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get 1 interface for interacting with R Markdown. The latter webpage is part of the documentation about the Visual Markdown Editing ( VME) mode that is available since RStudio 1.4+ as an alternative to writing R Markdown documents in source mode. More general tutorials can be found at the following web pages: We also give some guidelines specific to the Research Institute for Nature and Forest. In this tutorial we focus on best practices to further ease the citation experience when working with R Markdown documents. If you look at the raw source of the README.md of Markdown itself(!), relative paths don't seem to be supported.Īs noted in InvisibleWolf's answer, if the target link is a directory and it has space, then you need to use %20 for each space.With the advent of RStudio version 1.4+, working with bibliographies and citing documents in R Markdown has much improved. We tried adding a tag for this, but it causes problems with other relative links on the site. The GitHub markup issue 84 is currently closed by technoweenie, with the comment:

This also means your documentation can now easily stand on its own, without always pointing to GitHub.Īlso useful: When the link starts with a /, it is relative to the root of the repository (regardless of whether the markdown file is nested in subdirectories)

If you were using a workaround like (repo/blob/master/other_file.md), you'll have to update your documentation to use the new syntax.

(path%20with%20spaces/other_file.md)Īnd we'll make sure it gets linked to user/repo/blob/branch/other_file.md. …you can use a relative link: (other_file.md) You want examples of link definitions and how they work? Here's some Markdown for you. Now you can link directly between different documentation files, whether you view the documentation on GitHub itself, or locally, using a different markup renderer. Starting today, GitHub supports relative links in markup files. Update 30th, January 2013, 16 months later: GitHub Blog Post Relative links in markup files: Update: I opened an issue against GitHub for this feature request. Now how do I get it to pick up the current branch in the README.md at the root of the repository? This is expected because at this point the starting URL is in the branch. Here is a working example of what I mean: md to another within the same branch and not have to worry about which branch I'm in (avoid having to do an absolute URL that includes the branch name). My Project has a subdir named myLib, see below. Is there a way to create a URL anchor,, link from within a Markdown file, to another file within the same repository and branch (aka a link relative to the current branch)?įor example, in the master branch I have a README.md file, which I would like do something like: # My Project
