rmarkdown 2.16

on GitHub

Pandoc 2.19 has deprecated the argument --self-contained. If you have installed Pandoc 2.19+, rmarkdown will use --embed-resources --standalone as recommended by Pandoc for output formats that use the option self_contained = TRUE (#2382).

pandoc_version() returns a version number of the form X.Y.Z.YYYY.MM.DD for the nightly build of Pandoc now, where YYYY.MM.DD is its build date. Previously it would return X.Y.Z.9999 to indicate the nightly version.
