bookdown

If I add a line below the first in _output.yml : bookdown::gitbook: split_by: none css: ... in the bookdown-demo the output becomes a single .html file which looks kind of plain ugly. Is it somehow possible to retain the nice style which is produced by the default settings but in a single file? If I want to send the book to someone else sending a stack of files is not great, especially if the person who receives it is not familiar with HTML as a document format. This turns out to be a bug of bookdown , and I just fixed it on Github. You can install and test the development version (>= 0.3.3):

As far as I know, inserting an image from internet to LaTeX is not possible. You have to download the image first, and then include it locally. With R bookdown, I do it like this: download.file('https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/images/cover.jpg','cover.jpg', mode = 'wb') knitr::include_graphics('cover.jpg') It works very well for both the gitbook and pdf outputs. But I do not think it is smart. It is necessary for pdf to download the file first, but unnecessary for gitbook output. The image can be included directly to the gitbook output via: knitr::include_graphics('https://bookdown.org

I am using bookdown to generate slides for a workshop. I use the 'big' letter option in the menu for display as slides. However then the chapter title font size is too large. Where/how can I modify that one? Thanks, Paul roman you can control this with .css as yihui suggests in the top level of your bookdown project there is a file called style.css open it and paste in: .book .book-body .page-wrapper .page-inner section.normal h1{font-size:1em} this will increase the size of your top level header font when you build the book. you can change the value of 'em' or you can use other ways of

I am trying to reference a table using the bookdown package. In the documentation the author only shows how to create tables using knitr::kable . ```{r table1} knitr::kable( head(iris, 20), caption = 'Here is a nice table!', booktabs = TRUE ) ``` Table \@ref(tab:table1) is here. Using knitr::kable works just fine. The caption of the table is displayed and I can reference the table. I would like to do the same with a classic hand-made markdown table but obviously the code below fails. What can I do to get a similar result as with the code above? ```{r table2, echo=FALSE, results='asis'} cat('|

For reader convenience, I'd like to include, at the end of my bookdown book, written in markdown, a simple list or index of definitions from the body of the book. i.e. ones created using custom blocks, like this: ```{definition, bar, echo=T} A bar is defined here as a foo-like thing. ``` (My need is for definitions, but others might like lists of theorems, etc. Don't know if lists of figures and tables could be covered in the same way?) Thanks to @yihui I know that knitr::all_labels(engine == 'definition') is my friend. So I can do this anywhere in the end of the book, usually at the end: ```

One of the promises of the bookdown package is functions for automatic numbering of figure/table captions, and cross-referencing figures/tables/sections. This is claimed to be enabled for single-Rmd bookdown, if we use bookdown::html_document2 in the YAML: https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/a-single-document.html Looking at the raw rmarkdown for that chapter of the bookdown manual, I've tried to follow the instructions to make a single Rmd file that can use those cross-referencing functions. But I can't get it to render as expected, with cross-references. Here's a simple example Rmd: ---

I'm experimenting with the great new package bookdown to create a gitbook-style book using RMarkdown within RStudio. See here . My question is about creating custom blocks . There is an example in the documentation of how to define a block style in a CSS file: div.FOO { font-weight: bold; color: red; } And the authors give some examples of what blocks might look like. AFAIK, there is not an example of how to define this specific block with an icon. I don't know much about CSS, so looking for something I can modify. I'd like to use font awesome icons like Leanpub does to create some special
