Switching off file_scope in rmarkdown v23

[cderv]

@Wouter1

With rmarkdown v2.3 and bookdown v0.20, I can't get options(bookdown.render.file_scope = FALSE) to work if I add it to the first R code chunk in index.Rmd . The --file-scope argument is still added to the pandoc command.

I think you need to set this option in your R session, before rendering. This is not read from you rmarkdown document when rendering - This is rather an option about bookdown rendering that needs to be set before using bookdown.
