options passed to markdownToHTML

the environment in which the code chunks are to be evaluated
(for example, parent.frame(), new.env(), or
globalenv())
text
a character vector as an alternative way to provide the input
file
quiet
whether to suppress the progress bar and messages
encoding
the encoding of the input file; see file
force_v1

Value
If the argument text is NULL, a character string (HTML code)
is returned; otherwise the result is written into a file and the filename
is returned.
Note
The markdown package is for R Markdown v1, which is much less
powerful than R Markdown v2, i.e. the rmarkdown package
(http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com). To render R Markdown v2 documents to
HTML, please use rmarkdown::render() instead.
