OTTR for Courses!

Go to ottrproject.org to get started! :tada:

The purpose of this course template and guide is to make course publishing maintenance across multiple different platforms less painful.

This template and guide helps you:

• Edit and write a course in RMarkdown files and have it published to multiple different platforms:
• Leanpub
• Bookdown
• Coursera
• Have Github action robots do your repetitive tasks like spell check and re-rendering.
• Use automagic conversion to ease the lift of prepping the material for different platforms' formats.
• Use our Docker image for consistency across authors as well as to help you avoid dependency hell.

See the OTTR pre-print here!
