references. If NULL, only R is cited.
Character. Prefix used for all R-package reference handles.
Logical. Indicates if packages should be cited in a footnote. Ignored if no package information is available.
Character. Vector of package names to cite or omit depending
on omit.
Logical. If TRUE, pkgs constitutes a list of packages

packages to cite (a whitelist).
Additional arguments, which are currently ignored.
If footnote = FALSE, a character string citing R and R packages
including version numbers is returned. Otherwise a named list with the
elements r and pkgs is returned. The former element holds a character
string citing R and a reference to a footnote; the latter element contains
a character string that creates the footnote. For correct rendering, the
footnote string needs to be a separate paragraph in the R Markdown
document.
