OxShef: RMarkdown Template Site

This is a template repository for adding content to the OxShef collaboration between University of Oxford and University of Sheffield. Please use this template if your site matches these criteria:

• The site will be written using RMarkdown files
• The site will make use of R output

The OxShef collaboration covers many different technologies and it might not be appropriate to use RMarkdown in all cases, in which case please do consider adding a new template repository so others can create similar subsites in the future.

Current websites in OxShef that use this template include:

• OxShef Charts: A guide to different visualisation options for visualising research data

Features of the site

This template borrows heavily from the design of the rmarkdown.rstudio.com website, in order to use it effectively you must be aware of the following:

1. Use the _render-site.R script to safely generate the website by knitting together all .Rmd files in the root directory of the project
2. Modify _site.yml to change the globaly used CSS and which elements from includes/ are automatically included in all pages
3. includes/ contains re-usable website elements as follows:
   • includes/include_header.html defines the horizontal navigation displayed at the top of each page
   • includes/include_footer.html defines the footer displayed at the bottom of each page
4. Add new pages by duplicating the example-page.Rmd file
