I have a beamer rmarkdown file for preparing PDF presentation as teaching material. However, when I click knit with pdf, the output is displayed in html document, instead of beamer_presentation (pdf). my yaml is:

Thanking all in advance.

Earlier it was knitting properly but after some time it started giving this problem I have checked all 'helps' at various forums, but the problem persists. I have even installed tinyverse and installed/removed MikTex and restarted the system to solve the problem.

No error message is displayed, simply HTM document is executed that too blank!

The problem are the lines

link-citations: yes  
urlcolor: red  
linkcolor: red  
citecolor: blue

If you really, really, really want to have coloured links, you could add

header-includes:
  - \hypersetup{colorlinks, urlcolor=red, linkcolor=red, citecolor=blue}

to your header, but this is really, really, really a bad idea with beamer, because this breaks all carefully chosen design decisions made by your theme.
