R Markdown with the Docco Linear Style

This is an example of Markdown vignettes using the Docco style.

Docco

To use the Docco style for Markdown vignettes in an R package, you need to

  • add *.Rmd files under the vignettes directory
  • add Suggests: knitr and VignetteBuilder: knitr to the DESCRIPTION file
  • specify the vignette engine \VignetteEngine{knitr::docco_linear} in the Rmd files (inside HTML comments)

After building and installing the package, you can view vignettes via

browseVignettes(package = 'Your_Package')

Examples

Below are some code chunks as examples.

cat('_hello_ **markdown**!', '\n')

hello markdown!

Normally you do not need any chunk options.

1+1

## [1] 2

10:1

##  [1] 10  9  8  7  6  5  4  3  2  1

rnorm(5)^2

## [1] 0.02793468 0.06012960 2.93306336 0.58198017 0.04077861

strsplit('hello, markdown vignettes', '')

## [[1]]
##  [1] "h" "e" "l" "l" "o" "," " " "m" "a" "r" "k" "d" "o" "w" "n" " " "v" "i" "g"
## [20] "n" "e" "t" "t" "e" "s"

Feel free to draw beautiful plots and write math \(P(X>x)=\alpha/2\).

n=300; set.seed(123)
par(mar=c(4,4,.1,.1))
plot(rnorm(n), rnorm(n), pch=21, cex=5*runif(n), col='white', bg='gray')

How does it work

Custom CSS and JS files are passed to markdown::mark_html() to style the HTML page:

knitr:::docco_linear

That is it.
