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.
Best tutorial i've seen to get started with this package, tank you very much!
Thank you very much! It's a nice and clear tutorial with all the necessary features :)

I haven't done 1 and 3 so I don't have anything to offer there. On 2, it creates that every time you build your book.

Thank you was searching for like this basic one
Thanks a lot, David!
You are welcome!
Thank you so much for this.
Thanks for sharing this,
is it possible to show the rendered version directly on github ? or it should be on Netlify ?
You could use GitHub Pages to show the rendered version, but not GitHub itself (that's just for showing the source code). Hope that helps!
@@rfortherestofus thanks a lot for the reply. I will try to do so.
Great video, David.
Could you prepare a video explaining how to prepare a book in PDF format using bookdown?
When you build the whole book, it also creates a PDF file automatically. See bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/build-the-book.html
How to chosse? bookdown or quarto book?

I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you mind elaborating?

what about files to be ignored by git?
You can edit your .gitignore file just like any other project. Is that what you're asking about?

@@dskevinperezgarcia It's a good question, but it's not something I've had to deal with. I just left the default .gitignore and it works fine.
@@rfortherestofus gracias por tu respuesta.
@@dskevinperezgarcia Con mucho gusto!
