rmarkdown 2.18

on GitHub

rmarkdown::render() argument output_file is now used for all output formats, if there is only one name for multiple output formats (thanks, @MaelAstruc, #2421).

Custom output formats can provide a custom function to convert Markdown input to the desired output format now. To do so, define the output format via output_format(pandoc = pandoc_options(convert_fun = function(...) {})). The default converting function is pandoc_convert() in this package. See the help page ?pandoc_options for more details.
