Tufte handout format (PDF) — tufte

Template for creating a handout according to the style of Edward R. Tufte and Richard Feynman.

tufte_handout(
  fig_width = 4,
  fig_height = 2.5,
  fig_crop = TRUE,
  dev = "pdf",
  highlight = "default",
  keep_tex = FALSE,
  citation_package = c("default", "natbib", "biblatex"),
  includes = NULL,
  md_extensions = NULL,
  pandoc_args = NULL
)

Arguments

fig_width	Default width (in inches) for figures
fig_height	Default height (in inches) for figures
fig_crop	`TRUE` to automatically apply the `pdfcrop` utility (if available) to pdf figures
dev	Graphics device to use for figure output (defaults to pdf)
highlight	Syntax highlighting style. Supported styles include "default", "tango", "pygments", "kate", "monochrome", "espresso", "zenburn", and "haddock". Pass `NULL` to prevent syntax highlighting.
keep_tex	Keep the intermediate tex file used in the conversion to PDF
citation_package	The LaTeX package to process citations, `natbib` or `biblatex`. Use `default` if neither package is to be used, which means citations will be processed via the command `pandoc-citeproc`.
includes	Named list of additional content to include within the document (typically created using the `includes` function).
md_extensions	Markdown extensions to be added or removed from the default definition or R Markdown. See the `rmarkdown_format` for additional details.
pandoc_args	Additional command line options to pass to pandoc

Creating Tufte handout output from R Markdown requires that LaTeX be installed.

R Markdown documents can have optional metadata that is used to generate a document header that includes the title, author, and date. For more details see the documentation on R Markdown metadata.

R Markdown documents also support citations. You can find more information on the markdown syntax for citations in the Bibliographies and Citations article in the online documentation.
