I want to open the RMarkdown file in Jupyter. Recently, there are some changes done by Binder and now every file opens in JupterLab instead of Jupyter Notebook. My [link](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/textmining-infopros/dashboard/main?filepath=flexdashboard_R.Rmd) is showing raw RMarkdown code instead of “Jupyter Notebook” style. Can it be fixed?

Yes, you’d need to change the launch link. See [this post &thread](https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/classic-notebook-instead-of-jupyterlab-on-mybinder-org/10714/2).

This URL based on information there gets close, I think:

```nohighlight
https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/textmining-infopros/dashboard/main?urlpath=%2Fedit%2Fflexdashboard_R.Rmd

```

However, I’m unsure what “Jupyter Notebook” style is for this type of file. When I click on it in the Jupyter notebook classic interface, it wants to edit it, and so I tried linking to that.
