Introduction

Motivation

R bookdown [@R-bookdown] is an excellent R [@R-base] package for authoring books on programming languages. It has the potential to do much more than authoring R books if users costumize self-defined templates. However, the development of templates is difficult and unnecessary. Therefore I developed bookdownplus [@R-bdp].

Features

R bookdownplus is a collection of multiple templates. With bookdownplus you can easily

• write a laboratory journal, or a personal diary,
• draw a monthly or weekly or conference calendar,
• record guitar chords,
• write a mail in an elegant layout,
• and, of course, write academic articles in your favourite way,
• with chemical molecular formulae and equations,
• even in Chinese,
• and more wonders will come soon.

This poster you are viewing now is produced by R bookdownplus.

Quick start

Before starting, you have to install R, RStudio, bookdown package, and other software and packages (\ie Pandoc, \LaTeX, rmarkdown, rticle, knitr, etc.) which bookdown depends on. See the official manual of bookdown for details.

Installation:

devtools::install_github("pzhaonet/bookdownplus")

Run the following codes, and you will get some files (e.g. index.Rmd and body.Rmd) and folders in your working directory.

bookdownplus::bookdownplus()

Now press ctrl+shift+b to compile it. Your will get a book file named index.pdf in _book/ folder.

Write your own text in index.Rmd and body.Rmd, and build your own lovely book. Have fun!

Graphs

Using bookdown or rmarkdown, users can insert figures into a document in a friendly way. Just embed the R scripts into your .Rmd file(s) and compile it/them with knitr package, and the figures will appear automatically with high resolution and reproductivity.

ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Length, Petal.Length)) +
    geom_point(aes(color = Species)) +
    facet_wrap(~ Species)

Table

Similarly to graphs, tables can be inserted either with R script or with markdown syntax.

knitr::kable(
  head(iris, 3), caption = 'IRIS data as an example.',
  booktabs = TRUE
)

Take-home message

• R bookdownplus is an extension of bookdown for academic and literal writing, especially for reproducible reports.

• R bookdownplus is still being developed. Feel free to join me either in contributing templates to my Github repo ^[https://github.com/pzhaonet/bookdownplus], or in writing the tutorial of R bookdownplus [@R-bdp].

Acknowledgements

Many thanks to Dr. Yihui Xie for his amazing generosity and incredible patience in helping me get into the wonderful world of R bookdown.

The open source codes from Github and R community are much appreciated.
