pdf_book: Convert R Markdown to a PDF book

In rameshbalan/write_book: Authoring Books and Technical Documents with R Markdown

Description

Convert R Markdown files to PDF after resolving the special tokens of bookdown (e.g., the tokens for references and labels) to native LaTeX commands.

Usage

pdf_book(toc = TRUE, number_sections = TRUE, fig_caption = TRUE, pandoc_args = NULL, 
    ..., base_format = rmarkdown::pdf_document, toc_unnumbered = TRUE, 
    toc_appendix = FALSE, toc_bib = FALSE, quote_footer = NULL, highlight_bw = FALSE)

Arguments

toc, number_sections, fig_caption, pandoc_args	See rmarkdown::pdf_document, or the documentation of the base_format function.
...	Other arguments to be passed to base_format.
base_format	An output format function to be used as the base format.
toc_unnumbered	Whether to add unnumberred headers to the table of contents.
toc_appendix	Whether to add the appendix to the table of contents.
toc_bib	Whether to add the bibliography section to the table of contents.
quote_footer	If a character vector of length 2 and the quote footer starts with three dashes (---), quote_footer[1] will be prepended to the footer, and quote_footer[2] will be appended; if NULL, the quote footer will not be processed.
highlight_bw	Whether to convert colors for syntax highlighting to black-and-white (grayscale).

Details

This function is based on rmarkdown::pdf_document (by default) with better default arguments. You can also change the default format to other LaTeX/PDF format functions using the base_format argument.

The global R option bookdown.post.latex can be set to a function to post-process the LaTeX output. This function takes the character vector of the LaTeX output as its input argument, and should return a character vector to be written to the ‘.tex’ output file. This gives you full power to post-process the LaTeX output.

Note

This output format can only be used with render_book().
