html_chapters: Build book chapters into separate HTML files

Description

Split the HTML output into chapters while updating relative links (e.g. links in TOC, footnotes, citations, figure/table cross-references, and so on). Functions html_book() and tufte_html_book() are simple wrapper functions of html_chapter() using a specific base output format.

Usage

html_chapters(toc = TRUE, number_sections = TRUE, fig_caption = TRUE, 
    lib_dir = "libs", template = bookdown_file("templates/default.html"), 
    pandoc_args = NULL, ..., base_format = rmarkdown::html_document, split_bib = TRUE, 
    page_builder = build_chapter, split_by = c("section+number", "section", 
        "chapter+number", "chapter", "rmd", "none"))

html_book(...)

tufte_html_book(...)

toc, number_sections, fig_caption, lib_dir, template, pandoc_args

Other arguments to be passed to base_format. For html_book() and tufte_html_book(), ... is passed to html_chapters().

base_format

An output format function to be used as the base format.

split_bib

Whether to split the bibliography onto separate pages where the citations are actually used.

page_builder

A function to combine different parts of a chapter into a page (an HTML character vector). See build_chapter for the specification of this function.

split_by

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.

Value

An R Markdown output format object to be passed to bookdown::render_book().
