I'm generating HTML reports using knitr, and I'd like to include author and generation date meta tags.
My Rhtml page looks something like this.
<html>
<head>
<meta name="author" content="<!--rinline Sys.getenv('USERNAME') -->">
<meta name="date" content="<!--rinline as.character(Sys.time()) -->">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Unfortunately, after I knit("test.Rhtml")
, the HTML that knitr generates is
<meta name="author" content="<code class="knitr inline">RCotton</code>">
<meta name="date" content="<code class="knitr inline">2013-01-02 14:38:16</code>">
which isn't valid HTML. What I'd really like to generate is something like
<meta name="author" content="RCotton">
<meta name="date" content="2013-01-02 14:38:16">
Can I generate R code that doesn't get a code
tag wrapping it? Or is there another way to specify tag attributes (like these content attributes)?
So far my least-worst plan is to manually fix the content with readLines
/str_replace
/writeLines
, but this seems rather kludgy.
Another (undocumented) approach is to add
I()
around your inline code to print the characters as is without the<code>
tag, e.g.Not really nice, but seems to work without adding a hook:
