Latex shell-escape options in YAML header don't use - r

Question

I'm writing a report on Rmarkdovn but when you try to compile - pandoc_args options ignored when compile pdf.
I find this question:
Is it possible to include svg image in pdf document rendered by rmarkdown?
But it does not work because --latex-engine-opt replaced by --pdf-engine-opt. I replaced, but also did not work.
Compilation command:
Rscript -e "rmarkdown::render('test.rmd')"
test.rmd

title: Test
papersize: a4paper
output:

pandoc_args: [

I can use knitr -> pandoc -> xelatex, but it would be more convenient to use YAML header.

R Markdown documents are compiled to PDF via tinytex::latexmk(). To enable the -shell-escape option for your LaTeX engine, you may set the global option tinytex.engine_args, e.g., add this code chunk to your document:
```{r, include=FALSE}
options(tinytex.engine_args = '-shell-escape')
```
See the help page ?tinytex::latexmk for more information.
The LaTeX engine is called by tinytex::latexmk() instead of Pandoc, so the Pandoc argument --pdf-engine-opt won't work.
