tufte_handout

R Documentation

Tufte handout formats (PDF and HTML)

Description

Templates for creating handouts according to the style of Edward R. Tufte and Richard Feynman.

Usage

tufte_handout(fig_width = 4, fig_height = 2.5, fig_crop = TRUE, dev = "pdf", 
    highlight = "default", ...)

tufte_book(fig_width = 4, fig_height = 2.5, fig_crop = TRUE, dev = "pdf", 
    highlight = "default", ...)

tufte_html(...)

newthought(text)

margin_note(text, icon = "&#8853;")

quote_footer(text)

sans_serif(text)

Arguments

`fig_width`	Default width (in inches) for figures
`fig_height`	Default width (in inches) for figures
`fig_crop`	`TRUE` to automatically apply the `pdfcrop` utility (if available) to pdf figures
`dev`	Graphics device to use for figure output (defaults to pdf)
`highlight`	Syntax highlighting style. Supported styles include "default", "tango", "pygments", "kate", "monochrome", "espresso", "zenburn", and "haddock". Pass `NULL` to prevent syntax highlighting.
`...`	Other arguments to be passed to `pdf_document` or `html_document` (note you cannot use the `template` argument in `tufte_handout` or the `theme` argument in `tufte_html()`; these arguments have been set internally)
`text`	A character string to be presented as a “new thought” (using small caps), or a margin note, or a footer of a quote
`icon`	A character string to indicate there is a hidden margin note when the page width is too narrow (by default it is a circled plus sign)

Details

tufte_handout() provides the PDF format based on the Tufte-LaTeX class: https://tufte-latex.github.io/tufte-latex/.

tufte_html() provides the HTML format based on the Tufte CSS: https://edwardtufte.github.io/tufte-css/.

newthought() can be used in inline R expressions in R Markdown (e.g. `r newthought(Some text)`), and it works for both HTML (<span class="newthought">text</span>) and PDF (\newthought{text}) output.

margin_note() can be used in inline R expressions to write a margin note (like a sidenote but not numbered).

quote_footer() formats text as the footer of a quote. It puts text in <footer></footer> for HTML output, and after hfill for LaTeX output (to right-align text).

sans_serif() applies sans-serif fonts to text.
