#Rmarkdown html themes code#

The first one we're going to call is something called nextsteps. We're going to be creating CSS definitions. This is just a simple file with text commands. To create this file, In R Studio click on File > New File > Text File. So let's create a simple CSS file and we will use it to apply those formatting changes to your HTML document. Another way to make changes to the appearance and style of your HTML documents is to use cascading style sheets or CSS.

#Rmarkdown html themes code#

You'll notice that the background has changed slightly, the font has changed, and the code and the output shown here is in a different colored font. Press save, knit to html, and you can see the changes. And we're going to change the highlight to espresso. There's another theme that we can look at, called yeti.

You'll notice here that all of your headers are in a blue font. Then click knit to HTML to see the changes. And we're going to save it here in the folder for Module3. Go ahead and click Save, and we'll call this HTML document. And for highlight we're going to choose that option Kate. We're going to go ahead and set the team to cerulean and we're going to change the highlight option for highlighting code syntax. For each HTML document option that we change, we're going to put these on separate lines n the YAML header with the keyword followed by a colon and then the option setting. If we want to add this theme to our HTML document, go back to rstudio, and we're going to edit the YAML header. We can click on it here and see a preview of what this style and formatting is going to look like. For example, suppose we want our document to look like the Cerulean theme. You can scroll through here to see what the different themes look like. And you can learn more at their website, and the link is shown here. And the themes are available based on the Bootswatch theme library. Back at the website for the HTML documents format, if you click on the link here for appearance and style, you'll notice that there are several options that control the appearance of your HTML documents. Let's start by customizing the appearance and style of the HTML document. We're going to select Document for HTML format, put in a title, Module3 HTML Document, and click OK. In RStudio, click File > New File > R Markdown. So now that we've created the project and we're connected to GitHub via Git. Your Project directory name will be Module3 and it should be created as a sub-directory of your Rep templates folder for this course. Paste this URL in to the window shown here in our studio. And click on the button that says Clone or download. So go back to your GitHub account for Module3 repository. We're going to do this with version control using Git. Once your repository is created go ahead and open our studio. So click that box and then click Create Repository. And for this repository, we do want to initialize it with a a read me file. And we'll type in the description Module 3 of the Reproducable Templates Course. Log back into your GitHub account, and create a new Repository called Module3. As we begin this module, let's create a new GitHub Repository. We will be referring throughout the this lesson to the information contained in R Markdown website for the HTML format. In this lesson, we're going to explore the options available for customizing HTML documents. In module three, we're going to focus on changing the parameters available for each document format, to customize the style, appearance, and layout of our documents.
