How to conditionally process sections in Rmarkdown

Viewed 253

I have a book I'm generating with bookdown where I want to conditionally include a section of a chapter only when publishing to html as the section has animations in it. I can't find documentation on this. Can someone please point me towards relevant doc?

If the section is in a separate file, you can use _bookdown.yml file in the book directory to specify which files to use and which order to compile them depending on rendering format.

rmd_files:
  html: ["index.Rmd", "abstract.Rmd", "intro.Rmd"]
  latex: ["abstract.Rmd", "intro.Rmd"]

(from Chapter 1.3 Usage of the bookdown manual)
