Vignettes are long form documentation commonly included in packages. Because they are part of the distribution of the package, they need to be as compact as possible. The `html_vignette` output type provides a custom style sheet (and tweaks some options) to ensure that the resulting html is as small as possible. The `html_vignette` format: | |
- Never uses retina figures | |
- Has a smaller default figure size | |
- Uses a custom CSS stylesheet instead of the default Twitter Bootstrap style | |
## Vignette Info | |
Note the various macros within the `vignette` section of the metadata block above. These are required in order to instruct R how to build the vignette. Note that you should change the `title` field and the `\VignetteIndexEntry` to match the title of your vignette. | |
## Styles | |
The `html_vignette` template includes a basic CSS theme. To override this theme you can specify your own CSS in the document metadata as follows: | |
output: | |
rmarkdown::html_vignette: | |
css: mystyles.css | |
## Figures | |
The figure sizes have been customised so that you can easily put two images side-by-side. | |
```{r, fig.show='hold'} | |
plot(1:10) | |
plot(10:1) | |
``` | |
You can enable figure captions by `fig_caption: yes` in YAML: | |
output: | |
rmarkdown::html_vignette: | |
fig_caption: yes | |
Then you can use the chunk option `fig.cap = "Your figure caption."` in **knitr**. | |
## More Examples | |
You can write math expressions, e.g. $Y = X\beta + \epsilon$, footnotes^[A footnote here.], and tables, e.g. using `knitr::kable()`. | |
```{r, echo=FALSE, results='asis'} | |
knitr::kable(head(mtcars, 10)) | |
``` | |
Also a quote using `>`: | |
> "He who gives up [code] safety for [code] speed deserves neither." | |
