bookdown: Authoring Books and Technical Documents with R Markdown
presents a much easier way to write books and technical
publications than traditional tools such as LaTeX and Word. The
bookdown package inherits the simplicity of syntax and flexibility
for data analysis from R Markdown, and extends R Markdown for
technical writing, so that you can make better use of document
elements such as figures, tables, equations, theorems, citations,
and references. Similar to LaTeX, you can number and
cross-reference these elements with bookdown. Your document can
even include live examples so readers can interact with them while
reading the book. The book can be rendered to multiple output
formats, including LaTeX/PDF, HTML, EPUB, and Word, thus making it
easy to put your documents online. The style and theme of these
output formats can be customized. We used books and R primarily for
examples in this book, but bookdown is not only for books or R.
Most features introduced in this book also apply to other types of
publications: journal papers, reports, dissertations, course
handouts, study notes, and even novels. You do not have to use R,
either. Other choices of computing languages include Python, C, C
plus plus, SQL, Bash, Stan, JavaScript, and so on, although R is
best supported. You can also leave out computing, for example, to
write a fiction. This book itself is an example of publishing with
bookdown and R Markdown, and its source is fully available on
GitHub.
