[ESS] Difficulty pointing to .css file for markdown html rendering

[Brian Hobbs]

Lionel,

I appreciate your response. Indeed, the YAML header is ignored by knitr; so
your method worked.

That being said, I prefer the look of the HTML from knit2html() which calls
markdowntoHTML() from the markdown package. I discovered that in order to
point to a custom stylesheet for this rendering, you can set the option in
R: options(markdown.HTML.stylesheet = 'custom.css').

Sorry that this question was only peripherally related to ESS, but I thank
you for your help.

Brian
