The local preview of my website using blogdown:::serve_site() looks different than the Netlify deploy.

For example, using HTML in the markdown files to show an image (e.g. <img src="/gifs/r-suddengains.gif"/> ) or a YouTube video (e.g. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4SBjIkFNAGQ" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>) does not show in the local preview using blogdown:::serve_site() but looks fine online after deployment through Netlify (see Screenshot). I can't figure out why this doesn't work anymore, maybe I'm just missing a package or something in my settings isn't right?

Any ideas why my local preview is missing some things?

Hi,

I created a new project with the default blogdown configuration and got it to render with blogdown::serve(). Sort of--it doesn't slot it in the right date or give it the correct title.

My Rmd file was simply

---
title: "Video demo"
author: "Richard Careaga"
date: "12/21/2019"
output: html_document
---

 <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4SBjIkFNAGQ" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>)

It rendered to

---
title: "Video demo"
author: "Richard Careaga"
date: "12/21/2019"
output: html_document
---

<script src="/rmarkdown-libs/jquery/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="/rmarkdown-libs/elevate-section-attrs/elevate-section-attrs.js"></script>


<p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4SBjIkFNAGQ" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>)</p>

I haven't checked if it renders correctly on Netify!

So, the only thing I can suggest to to make sure the two scripts are where they should be in your directory and to replicate my experiment.

Thanks, this works now! I've also changed from markdown (.md) to R markdown (.Rmd) files, see https://bookdown.org/yihui/blogdown/output-format.html
