Knit the Rmd file that is currently open

This is a convenient alternative to using the knit button when you want to specify additional arguments such as output directory.

knitthis(output_dir = "documents", ...)

Arguments

output_dir	The output directory, as used in rmarkdown::render
...	Additional arguments to pass to rmarkdown::render

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# This command will knit the Rmd file that is currently open into the directory R.
knitthis("R")

# Assuming the open file is data_prep.Rmd, this would be equivalent to running:
rmarkdown::render(".../data_prep.Rmd", output_dir = ".../R")

}
