bookdown

I have written a draft book in R Markdown. Two questions: Is it possible to include a 'cover page' with graphic and text in the index.rmd file so that the rendering in bookdown- shows a cover page prior to the title page? I have an appendix in the book which cover some miscellaneous thoughts and comments. Is there a way of telling bookdown not to label it as 'Chapter 11 -Appendix' but rather just Appendix? thanks Yes, both is possible: (assuming you want PDF/Latex output) The 1. thing you can do as follows: Include an _output.yml file in your root directory. It could look as follows: bookdown:

I am using bookdown to create pdf reports, but my tables are all floating down to the bottom of the page, regardless of how much space there is. See this example: --- title: "test_doc" author: "Jake Thompson" date: "6/30/2017" output: bookdown::pdf_document2: toc: false --- ```{r setup, include=FALSE} knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE, collapse = TRUE) library(tidyverse) ``` # Test heading Let make a data frame and print it in Table \@ref(tab:test-table) ```{r test-table} data_frame(col_a = seq_len(5), col_b = rnorm(5), col_c = runif(5)) %>% knitr::kable(caption = "This is a test") ``` The

The Code folding option in RMarkdown for html documents is awesome.

I would like to use a .csl -file for formatting references with bookdown. Adding csl: some-style.csl to index.Rmd affects the output to gitbook , but not to pdf_book . I know that I can specify biblio-style , but this only accepts some standard styles and not csl-files. Is there a proper workaround?
