knit2wp: Knit an R Markdown document and post it to WordPress

Description

This function is a wrapper around the RWordPress package. It compiles an R Markdown document to HTML and post the results to WordPress. Please note that RWordPress has not been updated for several years, which is not a good sign. For blogging with R, you may want to try the blogdown package instead.

Usage

knit2wp(
  input,
  title = "A post from knitr",
  ...,
  envir = parent.frame(),
  shortcode = FALSE,
  action = c("newPost", "editPost", "newPage"),
  postid,
  publish = TRUE
)

Arguments

input

Filename of the Rmd document.

title

Title of the post.

...

Other meta information of the post, e.g. categories = c('R', 'Stats') and mt_keywords = c('knitr', 'wordpress'), et cetera.

envir

Environment in which code chunks are to be evaluated, for example, parent.frame(), new.env(), or globalenv()).

shortcode

A length-2 logical vector: whether to use the shortcode [sourcecode lang='lang'], which can be useful to WordPress.com users for syntax highlighting of source code and output. The first element applies to source code, and the second applies to text output. By default, both are FALSE.

action

Whether to create a new post, update an existing post, or create a new page.

postid

If action is editPost, the post id postid must be specified.

publish

Boolean: publish the post immediately?
