如何在bookdown :: gitbook中添加自定义htmlDependency

Question

bookdown::gitbook() adds the content of https://github.com/rstudio/bookdown/tree/master/inst/resources/gitbook as a htmltools::htmlDependency . How can I add such a custom dependency to a gitbook?

The goal is to provide an easy way to add a corporate css (including images). The definition of the htmlDependency() and all the required files would reside in an R package.

Answer 1

The ... arguments of bookdown::gitbook() are eventually passed to rmarkdown::html_document() , which are further passed to rmarkdown::html_document_base() , which has an extra_dependencies argument. You can create your list of dependencies with htmltools::htmlDependency() , and pass them to bookdown::gitbook() via the extra_dependencies argument.
