# Book PDF without LaTeX? :sunglasses:

This is a minimal example of a book based on R Markdown and **bookdown** (https://github.com/rstudio/bookdown).

## Result

* [HTML](https://maelle.github.io/bspagedjs/index.html)

* [PDF](https://maelle.github.io/bspagedjs/result.pdf)

## Context

This uses the `bs4_book()` template for HTML and then for getting a PDF

* tweaks of the HTML and merging of all chapters

* some print CSS, see [stylesheet](style.css)

* pagedjs-cli.

See [build.R](build.R)

Why use this and not LaTeX?

* procrastination? :see_no_evil:

* not having to redefine colors, environments for the LaTeX output

* not having to knit the same Rmd's twice for the two outputs (which also excludes using pagedown).

Why not pagedown?

* I want a non paginated HTML in the browser, and I want the PDF to be pre-generated.

## What's needed?

* dev bookdown and co to use `bs4_book()`

* a stylesheet with print CSS

* mathjax without loading messages see [mathjax.html](mathjax.html) (or no mathjax if your book does not feature equations)

So in `_output.yml` e.g.

```yaml

bookdown::bs4_book:

  theme:

    bootswatch: "litera"

    primary: "#982a31"

    fg: "#2b2121"

    bg: "#ffffff"

  repo: https://github.com/maelle/bspagedjs

  css: style.css

  mathjax: NULL

  includes:

    in_header: mathjax.html

```

* pagedjs-cli (locally, or using GitHub Actions)
