To give you an idea about how long it takes to convert a website:
Rmarkdown websites how to#
The latter is not impossible, and we have shown in Chapter 4 how to convert WordPress and Jekyll websites to Hugo. It is much easier to start a new website than converting an existing website. If you don’t have a website right now, consider yourself to be lucky. Anyway, you are expected to read at least Chapter 1 of this book. For example, you do not have to read Chapter 2 to understand how Hugo works if you can find a theme that you like and don’t want to customize too much (hint: this is unlikely-you will surely be bored by the appearance of your website someday). It may take you quite a while to fully digest this book, but perhaps it is not necessary. The book may seem to be short (about 150 pages), but it contains many external resources, such as examples that we have spent a lot of time on creating. The comprehensive documentation of this package is a book written in bookdown, which is freely available at and to be published by Chapman & Hall later this year. If you are not satisfied with the default theme, you can try to create another new site with a different theme till you find a theme that you like. To write new posts, you may use the RStudio addin “New Post”: For an existing website, you may call blogdown::serve_site() or the RStudio addin “Serve Site” to preview the site it will watch changes in your source files continuously and rebuild your site automatically. Note you only need to use this function once for every new site.

It will download and install Hugo if it has not been installed, download a default Hugo theme, add some sample posts, build the site, and launch it in your web browser (or RStudio Viewer) so that you can immediately preview the website. After you have installed the blogdown package, it only takes one step to create a new website-just call the function new_site() under an empty directory (or an empty RStudio project): It is extremely easy to get started with a new website. With blogdown, you can use richer Markdown syntax if you want. The Markdown support in these generators is often poor in terms of functionalities (you cannot easily beat Pandoc’s Markdown), and sometimes it is painful that they use different flavors of Markdown. We have also provided (limited) support for Jekyll and Hexo (see documentation). Hugo is easy to install (no dependencies), lightning fast (one millisecond per page), and very flexible. There are several popular static site generators, and the main one we support in blogdown is Hugo. Each page can have its own metadata (such as categories and tags), and you can generate pages of lists of content (such as a list of blog posts or examples).īesides the advantage in website structures, another highlight of blogdown is that it inherited bookdown‘s Markdown extensions (based on Pandoc’s Markdown), which means you can easily write technical content on your website, including everything that Pandoc supports (e.g., headings, lists, footnotes, tables, figures, citations, LaTeX math, and quotes, etc) and bookdown‘s extensions (e.g., figure and table captions, cross-references, theorems, proofs, numbered equations, and HTML widgets, etc). You can easily create a project website, or a blog. With blogdown, the directory structure of your R Markdown files can be arbitrary. and the bookdown package to compile multiple R Markdown documents to a book īut the structure of a website can be far more complicated than a collection of independent HTML pages or a book.the rmarkdown package to create single output files from R Markdown documents.

Before blogdown, you can easily do this using:
Rmarkdown websites code#
For example, you can use R code chunks (or other languages that knitr supports) to generate tables and graphics automatically on any web page. In a nutshell, blogdown is an effort to integrate R Markdown with static website generators, so that you can generate web pages dynamically. Since blogdown is a new package, you may install and test the development version using devtools::install_github("rstudio/blogdown") if you run into problems with the CRAN version.

Actualmente estoy compilando informes usando RMarkdown (en RStudio) pero no estoy seguro de cómo centrar y poner en negrita uno de mis encabezados. Soy un nuevo usuario de LaTeX y RMarkdown.
