knit2html: embedding images with base64

[Georges Dupret]

Hi!

It used to work out of the box within RStudio, but now the images are not embedded anymore in the output. I tried to fix it from within R:

knit2html("average.Rmd", options=c("use_xhtml","smartypants","mathjax","highlight_code", "base64_images"))

(this is inspired from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14870589/knitr-r-how-not-to-embed-images-in-the-html-file)

but the "base64_images" option doesn't fix the problem. the md files shows, for example:


which is translated to
<p><img src="figure/boxplots%20all1.png" alt="plot of chunk boxplots all"/> </p>

What puzzles me the most is that in some report, some of the images are embedded and others are not.

Any idea?

Thanks for your help.

The space in the file path is the culprit. You can either remove the
space in the chunk label, or use the latest version of the markdown
package on CRAN.

thanks! removing the spaces solves the problem. (Update of the markdown package doesn't though) best, ge
