The bookdown package is built on top of R Markdown (http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com), and inherits the simplicity of the [[Markdown Syntax]]. See the [[R Markdown]] for more details on R Markdown. The bookdown R package is not only for books. The “book” can be anything that consists of multiple R Markdown documents meant to be read in a linear sequence, such as course handouts, study notes, a software manual, a thesis, or even a diary. In fact, many bookdown features apply to single R Markdown documents as well. Bookdown features include multi-page HTML output, numbering and cross-referencing figures/tables/sections/equations, inserting parts/appendices, and imported the GitBook style (https://www.gitbook.com) to create elegant and appealing HTML book pages. #### What can bookdown do? - typeset equations, theorems, figures and tables, and cross-reference them - generate multiple output formats such as HTML, PDF, and e-books for a single book - customize the book templates and style different elements in a book - editor support (in particular, the RStudio IDE) - publish a book. *** 2023 cloudedknowledge.net
