How to add default code snippets to blogdown posts?

Question

I've set up my blog using blogdown.

Now I would like to define some standard code snippets that should be included in each post (e.g., for centering images). Take this R-code as an example; it should be included automatically in each post:

knitr::opts_chunk$set(

  out.width = "70%",

  fig.align = 'center'  

)

I've read the section on templates in the blogdown book, but I could only find html based templates, which appears not so straightforward to me.

How can I add R-code snippets per default to posts using blogdown?

Answer 1

You can do this in .Rprofile, as explained in Section 1.4 of the blogdown book. The easiest way is probably to use an RStudio project, and create a .Rprofile file in the root directory of the website project, in which you set the knitr global chunk options.
