Tufte in the Fast Lane

A theme for Blogdown with Hugo, based on the excellent Hugo Book theme from Alex Shpak.

Note: This has now been abandoned in favour of a bookdown-based approach, which offers more flexibility and fewer dependencies than blogdown. It is left here because it works, and as a reminder that I should read more before I start building. I will probably forget.

Requirements

For the basic theme:

• Hugo

For R code and glossary:

• R
• R Studio
  Not required, but recommended.
• The following packages:
  • Blogdown

For pdf output:

• Node JS
• Puppeteer

Setup

1. Clone this repo to desired directory
2. Download R studio and install blogdown (see the blogdown guide)
3. Navigate to titfl/pdfgen and run npm i puppeteer to install puppeteer and chromium

Edit the site from the contents directory. Note this is not content; in order to prevent the Rmarkdown files being overwritten by Hugo (and an ugly file structure from duplicates) the content directory required by Hugo is rebuilt by R each time the site is generated.
