I think I stated it ambiguously before. I think we're on the same
page. Org -> Rmd. Then process Rmd in an Emacs R session. If you
re-export from Org -> Rmd, only new code block changes are re-run,
correct?

Ah, that makes more sense. I guess I had all mine set to :eval no and
never experienced that ox-ravel doesn't actually run them. Thanks for
that.

What I mean is how do I just add an image via existing Org syntax and
get it sized correctly in the Org -> Rmd -> html process? None of the
attributes seem to be carried through to markdown with ox-md or
ox-ravel. So my question might be more clear if I said, "Say you have
an image that's 1600x900px and you want it in your slidify deck at
400px tall. How would you do that?"

ox-ravel works fine by just specifying knitr fig.height/width if
you're going to generate your plots during the process of knitting.
You create the plot at exactly the size you want. But how might you
resize an existing plot depending on the format? If you want an html
equivalent to the latex article class, you might want a different plot
size than if you want to export to slidify. Would one have to go
through and replace all the fig.height/width arguments and re-run all
the plot code just to get proper image sizing? Once there are
perfectly good images laying around... it doesn't seem like one should
have to re-generate them just because a different size is desired.

I posted another ML post along these lines earlier today. Since
markdown is just a middle destination onto html, I'm interested in
getting Org's built-in image attributes passed along for the whole
trip. I don't see a way to even center an image at present. The direct
<img > tag could be put in Org... but that breaks the spirit of
keeping Org's syntax flexible enough to let me export to another
backend if I want. Thus, the ideal goal would be something like:

#+begin_center
#+attr_latex: :height 6cm
#+attr_html: :height 400px
#+attr_ravel: :height 400px
[[./img.png]]
#+end_center

Thus I get a centered image at some appropriate size for each backend.
Otherwise I'll be having to do #+begin/end_latex and #+begin/end_html
for every image in my document.

Does that make more sense?
