r - Enable rmarkdown / pandoc-citeproc citations in Jekyll blog via servr -

i'm basing rmarkdown-jekyll-blog off of yihui's fantastic boilerplate using servr::jekyll(), in turn wraps knitr.

everything's dandy, except can't rmarkdown-citations work (which in turn wrap pandoc-citeproc, believe).

so when add bibliography.bib

  @manual{yihui-2015,     title = {knitr: general-purpose package dynamic report   generation in r},     author = {yihui xie},     year = {2015},     note = {r package version 1.11},     url = {http://yihui.name/knitr/},   } 

to directory, amend preamble of boilerplate 2014-09-28-jekyll-with-knitr.rmd bibliography: ../bibliography.bib or bibliography: bibliography.bib (see below) , add boilerplate itself:

## citations  work this: [@yihui-2015] see references @ bottom. 

this get:

[

just confirm setup is, in fact, correct, ran

library(rmarkdown) render(input = "_source/2014-09-28-jekyll-with-knitr.rmd") 

which produces html with citations, expected:

in way, not surprising, because according boilerplate

r markdown source files re-compiled through knitr when corresponding markdown output files become older1 source files;

so servr::jekyll runs files through knitr not deal citations, , not rmarkdown::render, does.

how can work and/or worthwhile addition servr?

ps.: rmarkdown::render, other things equal, executed in own r session (right?), working directory being the directory of rendered file, need ../bibliography.bib work. think servr::jekyll which runs root of blog directory use working directory in r session , can hence find bibliography.bib. wrong. anyway, detail, , not @ heart of problem here.

turns out, had not read manual enough:

rmdv2() instead of jekyll() answer question.

from manual:

the functions rmdv1() , rmdv2() similar jekyll(), , difference way compile r markdown documents: rmdv1() uses markdown package (a.k.a r markdown v1) via knit2html(), , rmdv2() calls render() in rmarkdown package (a.k.a r markdown v2).

because pandoc-style citations introduce in r markdown v2, need rmdv2().
