Release knitr 1.41 · yihui/knitr

NEW FEATURES

Added support for generating Jira tables via kable(, format = 'jira') (thanks, @pedropark99 #2180, @mruessler #2024).
Added a new chunk option fig.id. When it is TRUE, the chunk option out.extra will gain an id attribute for each image from a code chunk in R Markdown (thanks, @jooyoungseo, #2169). By default, the attribute consists of a prefix, the chunk label, and the figure number. See https://yihui.org/knitr/options/ for detailed documentation of fig.id.
Added an argument exact to pandoc_to() and pandoc_from() to decide whether to use/return the exact Pandoc output/input format name. If not (default), Pandoc extensions will be removed from the format name, e.g., latex-smart will be treated as latex.

Plot created outside of knit() could sneak into knit_child() results (thanks, @niklaswillrich, #2166).
User-provided background colors for code chunks in .Rnw documents may fail (thanks, @nielsrhansen, #2167).
tabularx and xltabular tables should work without captions (thanks, @amarakon, #2188).
