Provide a way to generate .md output instead of .html

[yihui]

When the user does not really need Pandoc's Markdown, and the post does not contain HTML widgets, plain Markdown output may suffice and there is no need to go through Pandoc.

Would it go through Hugo's Markdown processor then?

[yihui]

Yes.

Sounds good to me.

I'm currently trying to get table of contents to work with .Rmd posts, and I figured that my template's {{ .TableOfContents }} is ignored because Hugo only sees the generated html, so this would work in my favor as well and I won't need to open a separate issue about it (which is why I came here just now) \o/

@jemus42 Please see https://bookdown.org/yihui/blogdown/output-format.html for how to get a TOC for R Markdown posts.

[jemus42]

@yihui Yes, that works to get a basic toc, but that output does not match the toc as generated by hugo, and it's not possible to integrate it into my hugo template, which makes it both difficult to style and not match the tocs in other blogposts :/

Implemented. Use the filename extension .Rmarkdown instead of .Rmd to get Markdown output instead of HTML.
