build_episode_html: Build a single episode html file

In zkamvar/sandpaper: Create and Curate Carpentries Lessons

Build a single episode html file

Description

This is a Carpentries-specific wrapper around pkgdown::render_page() with templates from varnish. This function is largely for internal use and will likely change.

Usage

build_episode_html(
  path_md,
  path_src = NULL,
  page_back = "index.md",
  page_forward = "index.md",
  pkg,
  quiet = FALSE,
  page_progress = NULL,
  sidebar = NULL,
  date = NULL
)

Arguments

path_md	the path to the episode markdown (not RMarkdown) file (usually via build_episode_md()).
path_src	the default is NULL indicating that the source file should be determined from the sandpaper-source entry in the yaml header. If this is not present, then this option allows you to specify that file.
page_back	the URL for the previous page
page_forward	the URL for the next page
pkg	a pkgdown object containing metadata for the site
quiet	if TRUE, messages are not produced. Defaults to TRUE.
page_progress	an integer between 0 and 100 indicating the rounded percent of the page progress. Defaults to NULL.
sidebar	a character vector of links to other episodes to use for the sidebar. The current episode will be replaced with an index of all the chapters in the episode.
date	the date the episode was last built.

Value

TRUE if the page was successful, FALSE otherwise.

Note

this function is for internal use, but exported for those who know what they are doing.
