In rebook: Re-using Content in Bioconductor Books

#' Deploy a custom CSS
#'
#' Deploy a custom CSS to change the colors of the book's section headers, mostly to add some flavor to the book.
#'
#' @param path String containing the path to the output CSS file.
#' @param h2.col String containing the color to use for the section headers.
#' @param h3.col String containing the color to use for the subsection headers.
#' 
#' @return The CSS file is overwritten at \code{path}.
#' A \code{NULL} is invisibly returned.

#' @details
#' We quickly learned that it was unwise to be too adventurous with the colors.
#' In particular, changing the colors of the table of contents was quite distracting.
#' Altering the colors of the section headers provides a tasteful level of customization,
#' with the default colors set (almost) to the Bioconductor color palette.

#' @examples
#' fname <- tempfile(fileext=".css")
#' deployCustomCSS(fname)
#' cat(readLines(fname), sep="\n")
