First we have our **my_file.Rmd** which looks like this: ````{=html}
--- title: ' ' output: html_document: theme: null highlight: null mathjax: null --- Hello everyone,\n here is a calculation. **2+2 =** ```{r echo=FALSE} 2+2 ``` All the best```` ```{r include=FALSE} test.Rmd <- "--- title: ' ' output: html_document: theme: null highlight: null mathjax: null --- Hello everyone,\n here is a calculation. **2+2 =** \```{r echo=FALSE} 2+2 \``` All the best " writeLines(test.Rmd, con = "my_file.Rmd") ``` ## Render your rmarkdown file ```{r echo=TRUE, results = 'hide'} htmlout <- tempfile(fileext = ".html") rmarkdown::render( input = "my_file.Rmd", intermediates_dir = ".", output_file = htmlout, ) ``` ## This is the resulting HTML document ```{r echo=FALSE, results='asis'} unlink("my_file.Rmd") htmltools::includeHTML(htmlout) ``` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Sending the html file per E-Mail We can now send the the resulting html file as A) an file attachment or B) inline HTML. ### A) File attachment ```{r} library(sendmailR) sendmail(from="from@example.org", to="to1@example.org", subject="File attachment", msg=c( mime_part("Hello everyone,\n here is the newest report.\n Bye"), mime_part(htmlout, name = "report.html")), engine = "debug") ``` ### B) Inline HTML ```{r message=TRUE} sendmail(from="from@example.org", to="to1@example.org", subject="Inline HTML", msg=mime_part_html(htmlout), engine = "debug") ```
