Knitting issue

[ian-flores]

When knitting the versions of the RMarkdown documents I expect for the knitr::opt_chunk$set() command to remain the same as I set it up in the original document, however on the knitted versions the eval option is changed to true. I would expect that if I set it to FALSE it should remain FALSE as well.

knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE, eval = FALSE)

I definitely had a reason for this at some point... and I do not remember what it was... I'll look into it, thanks!

Oookay so here is why it's written that way: In the parent file that generates the subfiles, you need to have eval = FALSE as a global option. Otherwise R is unhappy with the version tags in chunk options. Also, there's no real point to evaluating the code in the parent file; it'd be a waste of time.

Right now, versions() has an options global_eval, which you can set to FALSE to retain the global eval = FALSE in your child documents.

Happy to consider more elegant solutions to this issue if you have suggestions!
