I have a bookdown
project that uses a REAMDE.Rmd
separately from the actual book: https://github.com/ropensci-books/targets. I prefer to use a README.Rmd
to produce README.md
so I can automatically generate the citation. But when I render README.Rmd
, bookdown
thinks it is part of the book, and it generates the final HTML file instead of README.md
. Is there a way to tell bookdown
that README.Rmd
is not a chapter?
Side note: yes, https://github.com/ropensci-books/targets/blob/main/README.md appears to agree with https://github.com/ropensci-books/targets/blob/main/README.Rmd, but I am currently writing the former manually.
