tufterhandout

Output formats for Tufte-style handouts in pdf and html for Rmarkdown. See it in action here http://sachsmc.github.io/tufterhandout.

Installation

devtools::install_github("tufterhandout", "sachsmc")

Usage

When authoring a document in rmarkdown, simply specify the output format in the front-matter:

output: 
    tufterhandout::html_tufte_handout

In html, sidenotes are created with the tag <aside></aside>. You can even put code chunks in aside. Margin figures use the knitr option marginfigure = TRUE and full width figures use the knitr option fig.star = TRUE. Make use of the fig.cap option to specify the figure captions.

or

output: 
    tufterhandout::pdf_tufte_handout

In pdf format, footnotes are replaced with sidenotes. You can use the pandoc command ^[sidenote content goes in here]. The same options for figures are there.

See the help files for complete options.
