¶ # R Markdown with the Docco Classic Style This is an example of Markdown vignettes using the Docco style. ## Docco To use the Docco style for Markdown vignettes in an R package, you need to add `*.Rmd` files under the `vignettes` directory add `Suggests: knitr` and `VignetteBuilder: knitr` to the `DESCRIPTION` file specify the vignette engine `\VignetteEngine{knitr::docco_classic}` in the `Rmd` files (inside HTML comments) |
¶ After building and installing the package, you can view vignettes via |
    browseVignettes(package = 'Your_Package')
¶ ## Examples |
¶ Below are some code chunks as examples. |
    cat('_hello_ **markdown**!', '\n')
¶ hello markdown! |
¶ Normally you do not need any chunk options. |

    n=300; set.seed(123)
    par(mar=c(4,4,.1,.1))
    plot(rnorm(n), rnorm(n), pch=21, cex=5*runif(n), col='white', bg='gray')
¶ ## How does it work |
¶ The markdown package (>= v0.6.2) supports custom HTML templates, and the `docco` engine in knitr uses a custom template to compile Markdown to HTML: |
    head(knitr::rocco, 5)
    ##
    ## 1 function (input, ...)
    ## 2 {
    ## 3     out = knit2html(input, ..., stylesheet = system.file("misc",
    ## 4         "docco-classic.css", package = "knitr"), template = system.file("misc",
    ## 5         "docco-classic.html", package = "knitr"))
¶ That is it. You probably have noticed that you can adjust the widths of the two columns using your cursor. What is more, press `T` on your keyboard, and see what happens. |
