I\'m using R 3.3.2 and Rstudio Version 1.0.44, here\'s the format of my RMarkdown file
---
title: \"Sentiment Analysis\"
output:
rmdformats::material:
hi
First, instead of self contained: no, self_contained: no allowed me to knit to material locally.
However when publishing the RPubs the images and CSS are gone.
THis is because of how RPubs works, which is to put the document into an iframe.
If you push both a default html_document and a material document from the same Rmd to RPubs and View Source for the frame, you will see that they are completely different. The material page looks like pretty normal HTML and you can see that the image links will be broken because the path to the images are incomplete. For the standard html document on the other hand it has a massive amount of minified javascript that is handling all of these details.
I'm sure there is probably a way to make it work but it would involve reproducing a lot of code from the default html document.
