Nice! Would love a follow up, on 1) how to deal with references/bibliography, 2) how to export to ebook formats like epub/mobi, 3) how to best handle math symbols and equations
@@davidgkeyes Having played around with it for a week: For #1 RStudio is nicely integrated with the Zotero open source tool. #3 works well out of the box for HTML and PDF outputs, however it's less nice with EPUB/MOBI (math typesetting is a bit ugly).
Thanks for this! Great video tutorial, I wonder though if there's a way rendered pages can be hidden based on RBAC? I mean not all pages/sections to be seen but some are kind of restrcted. TIA!
There isn't a way built into bookdown. This is something I and many people have wondered about, though. See twitter.com/dgkeyes/status/1387876087334543360
@@rfortherestofus Thanks for the tip, I think we are using the ShinyApp so need to probably push in that direction and just separate the docs into different audiences.
What if I have already knit my markdown files to html and I want to put several html files in a book without having to run/use the rmd files, how would one do this?
@@davidgkeyes yea no problem, I have RMD files that ive already knitted to html and theyre perfect, they have dark theme and table of contents on the side that let you click to a section in the project just the way i want, and I want to put these all together into one book only using the html files because I dont want to rerun the models used in the RMD files they will take too long and things might not work the same anymore
@@larem8435 I believe you could just add them to a new project and follow the instructions in my video, creating a _bookdown.yml file that lists them all. This will have them be part of your book.
@@rfortherestofus When creating a bookdown, what files should it ignore other than the ones that are usually ignored by an R project? It seems to me that some extra files are created like when one works with LaTeX.
