In minidown: Create Simple Yet Powerful HTML Documents with Light Weight CSS Frameworks

minidown 0.4.0

• Fix summary.results chunk option not working as expected (#87)

• Changed querySelector in highlightToC.js so that ToC can be querried regardless of --id-prefix is given to Pandoc (#85).

• Introduce SASS to unify and minify CSS files. Current implementation do not include options for customizations. Also, the sakura and water CSS frameworks are updated to the latest versions. At the same time, the updated water CSS framework allows customizations via CSS variables. See files under inst/frameworks/water for available variables (#84).

• mini_document gains "katex_serverside" as a new oprion for the katex parameter. "katex_serverside" renders math well on shiny-based runtimes, too. Note that this feature may change in a later version in order to incorporate the generalized feature from rstudio/rmarkdown#1940 (#81, #88).

• Document how to use _output.yml in package vignettes (#80).

• Tabsets allow markups within tabmenus. The markups inherits from the content of corresponding headings (#78).

• Tabsets can activate nested tab of a selection on hashChange or load (#76, #77).

• Tabset determines initially active tab based on location.hash (#75).

• Fix tabset should not prevent rendering HTML widgets. This change let tabsets be built on load instead of DOMContentLoaded (#74).

minidown 0.3.0

• Fix TOC highlighting doesn't work with non-ASCII headings (#62)

• Support css framework-less minimalistic output with minidown(framework = "none") or NULL. Note that this style also omits the tooltip feature (#64, #65, #67).

minidown 0.2.0

• The tabset feature of mini_document allows which tab is open by default. The syntax is same as the rmarkdown::html_document, i.e. add .active class to the header to be open by default (#52).

• The code_folding feature triggers a chunk hook by the chunk option minidown_hook instead of source. This avoids conflict with user settings (#57).

minidown 0.1.1

• Fix mini_document should not run cat() in post processor (#51).

• Fix CRAN policy violation caused by intermediate files from rmarkdown::render (#53).

minidown 0.1.0

Breaking changes

• Removed accordion menu feature from mini_document in favor of the new tabset feature (#31).

Major changes

• mini_document experimentally gains the toc_highlight argument with default value FALSE, which highlights the floating table of contents according to the browser's viewport. This feature requires toc = TRUE and toc_float = TRUE (#26).
• mini_document experimentally gains the tabset argument with default value FALSE, which converts the sections to tabs if they belong to the tabset-class section just like rmarkdown::html_document. The major difference from rmarkdown::html_document is that the names of tabs appear in table of contents, and are accessible by URL. (#27).
• Add the section_divs argument to the mini_document function. The default value is TRUE. It must be TRUE when enabling the tabset feature (#29).
• When switching tabs in mini_document's tabset, browser's URL is updated so that users can easily share the URL of the tab with others (#30).
• Floating ToC sticks to the page in the better way. Previously, scroll moved the ToC slightly before sticking in the sakura framework (#36).
• Add spcss as a new CSS framework (#37).
• The ToC is more compact. Also, when the ToC floats, it stretches as high as viewport. Previous height was 85% of the viewport height (#40, #41).
• Added skeleton.Rmd, which means users can create minidown::mini_document from the menu of RStudio (File -> New File -> R Markdown... -> From Template) (#42).
• The floating ToC has better appearance. Its width remains 300px, but the main contents has changed. If viewport width is between 960px to 1260px, the main contents fills the rest of width (660px to 960px). If viewport width is larger than 1200px, the main content has the fixed width of 960px, and is centered. Previously, contents including the floating ToC are centered (#44).
• Added a vignette, "Writing Vignettes with the 'minidown' Package" (#46, #47, #48, #50).

Bug fix

• mini_document no more generates invalid HTML by the results_folding feature, and removes the results_folding section when no output is made (#49).
• Fixed a conflict among the toc_highlight and tabset arguments of mini_document (#28).

Internal changes

• Internal file structures have refactored (#26).

• Available themes can be previewed without jumping pages. This is made possible by adding mini_document(framework = "all") as a choice. Note that this option is intended for internal use only. By setting this and self_contained = FALSE, the document adds all the stylesheets as its dependencies. Also, a meta element will be inserted to header, which tells the version of minidown package that builds the document (#35).
• Demo page adds functionality to set framework and theme via query parameter (e.g., https://minidown.atusy.net/?framework=spcss&theme=spcss) (#38)

minidown 0.0.3

• The code folding feature is re-implemented. The previous implementation used five hooks on the chunk options: "class.source", "class.output", "class.message", "class.warning", "class.error". The new implementation uses a single hook on the "engine" chunk option. This allows the "class.*" chunk options be NULL as their default values, which is consistent with rmarkdown::html_document(). The previous implementation required the default values be blank string "" in order to trigger the hooks.
• The collapse option gains priority to the code folding feature for outputs, messages, warnings, and errors. In the future, the internal tricks will be removed by reflecting the upcoming knitr 1.31 (#22, #24).
• Layouts
• Fixed css jitter by a.button:hover on the sakura framework (thanks, @jmbuhr, #20)
• Removed the following classes from code blocks generated by chunks: chunk-source, chunk-output, chunk-message, chunk-warning, and chunk-error.
• Removed a border from the floating ToC (#17)
• Bug fix
• Internal check_pandoc_version() warned even if systems have Pandoc >= 2.7.2 (thanks, @eddelbuettel, #19).

minidown 0.0.2

• New features
• mini_document() adds results_folding option to fold entire results including figures and tables.
• mini_document() adds code_download option
• Add download_rmd_button() so that users can place a download button anywhere in the document.
• mini_document() warns if Pandoc is older than expected. Especially, if Pandoc < 2.0, --lua-filters pandoc argument is omitted.
• Template and layouts
• On template, Elements after include-before and include-after are wrapped by <main> element. Accordingly, mini_document(toc_float = TRUE) applies CSS Grid Layout on <main> element and its contents. In this way, users can safely include additional contents.
• For the consistency with mini_document(code_folding = TRUE), the max-width of body become 900px when code_folding = FALSE
• Bug fix
• fix self_contained: false not working properly
• exclude toc_float-related CSS if the toc option is FALSE (#15).

minidown 0.0.1

• Initial release with the support of following frameworks:
• mini.css
• sakura
• Water.css
