This output format function ported a style provided by GitBook (https://www.gitbook.com) for R Markdown.
gitbook(fig_caption = TRUE, number_sections = TRUE, self_contained = FALSE,
lib_dir = "libs", pandoc_args = NULL, ..., split_by = c("chapter", "chapter+number",
"section", "section+number", "rmd", "none"), split_bib = TRUE, config = list())...
Arguments to be passed to rmarkdown::html_document()
(... not including toc, theme, and template).
Other arguments to be passed to base_format. For
html_book() and tufte_html_book(), ... is passed to
html_chapters().
How to name the HTML output files from the book: rmd
uses the base filenames of the input Rmd files to create the HTML
filenames, e.g. generate chapter1.html for chapter1.Rmd;
none means do not split the HTML file (the book will be a single
HTML file); chapter means split the file by the first-level headers;
section means the second-level headers. For chapter and
section, the HTML filenames will be determined by the header ID's,
e.g. the filename for the first chapter with a chapter title #
Introduction will be introduction.html; for chapter+number
and section+number, the chapter/section numbers will be prepended to
the HTML filenames, e.g. 1-introduction.html and
2-1-literature.html.
Whether to split the bibliography onto separate pages where the citations are actually used.
