Call Javascripts into rmarkdown yaml

Question

I want to use this to create an html that resembles the grayscale bootstrap site's lay-out using Rmarkdown V2.

I can load the css by using in my yaml:

output:
html_document:
css: css/grayscale.css

But how do I load the rest of the files into the rmarkdown yaml?

The folder examples from the site above are all in a consistent format (css, js, fonts, img) but I cannot seem to get my rmarkdown to call either the js scripts or the images? Should this be done in the yaml?

Help please?

bookdown::html_document2 has an option includes here you can set e.g. in_header to an html file that contains what you need. At least for JavaScript its working for me.

output:
  bookdown::html_document2:
    includes:
      in_header: "javascript.html"
