(Not) possible to set `keep_md: true`?

[stefanherzog]

Next to knitting the .Rmd to a PDF, I would like to keep the intermediary markdown (.md) file (e.g., to commit it as a plain text to the repo and, say, www.OSF.io). I tried to add the keep_md: true option, but with no success (see the MRE below). (I hope it's not because I messed up with the white spaces.) If prereg does not support this option, would it be cumbersome to add it?

Thanks!

Hey Stefan, I realize it's been a while (sorry). I just tried to reproduce the problem and it appears it has been resloved in the meantime. Is this still an issue for you?

@crsh : Thanks for taking this up again! I've just run the above MRE again and didn't get an error, but I also cannot find the markdown document. Maybe I've just missed it. If you ran the MRE, can you find the markdown file?

Below are some session infos.

R version 4.1.1 (2021-08-10)

That's odd. It did retain the markdown file for me.

@crsh : I just tried it again. The HTML of the Rmd file appears in docs, but I can't find the .md file. Where did you find your .md file? Can you share your MRE with me? That may help me find out whether there's something else/additional in my setup that is creating the problem.
