R-markdown self_contained

Question

I'm using R-markdown for a couple of reports. I do it with self contained graphics because I send it via email.

This worked till recently. But now the images are not shown anymore (with the error of a cross in a box). It might be that I updated the Version of RStudio. I used this a the top of the script:

---
title: "blablablab"
author: "blablablab"
output:
html_document:
fig_caption: yes
toc: no
toc_depth: 2
toc_float: no
number_sections: false
self_contained: yes
---

I know that this question is not very specific. I just wanted to ask if there is anybody which also had self contained graphics which suddenly didn't work anymore.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Greetings Dani

Can you please expand your example to include a graphic that is not working for you (e.g. from the default Rmarkdown document created in RStudio) and correct the indentation levels in the YAML headers. This way we get a [mcve] and the question will become quite specific. — Ralf Stubner, Jun 19 '18 at 12:12

I just had same problem. In RStudio i had previously:

output:
  html_document:
    self_contained: yes

and it always worked properly producing self-contained HTML. TODAY it stopped working properly. I did update Rstudio a few weeks ago and might not have noticed problem, not sure. SO now i changed to:

output:
  html_document:
    self_contained: yes
    mode: selfcontained

Which seems strange and redundant with two separate lines trying to make things self-contained BUT it worked.

I know this was a long time ago. I would like to be able to post the html on MS teams and get the DT:datatable output to show. I was hoping selfcontained would do it. – Harlan Nelson Mar 25 '21 at 15:46

As a sanity check, make sure that you do not have the option include=FALSE in your global chunk options opts_chunk$set

When that is the case, the images are created and stored in the figure-html directory, but not embedded in the html file.
