bookdown VS hypher

If you can pre-build the index, Lunr seems to work well, but it doesn't support Chinese. R/bookdown switched for these reasons recently to fuse.js.

There is discussion of some of the other options and their tradeoffs here:

I'm familiar with R Bookdown and I know it produces some excellent results as far as HTML books go, with plenty of templates already available for those who don't know or don't like CSS/JS.

Awesome idea. I do something similar using GitHub issues to capture each issue, tag with relevant WCAG criteria, then export markdown for each issue via a python script that links cross references from GitHub issues, creates links for all WCAG criteria referenced and then complies into all into HTML (and PDF if needed) using https://bookdown.org

Have a look in https://bookdown.org/, lots of resources there.

You can try the R Bookdown site (https://bookdown.org/)! There's access to a lot of free R material there and is one of the main places where I learned R.

Did you try bookdown?

I think it’s already possible to get some of the way there on the web today (having fine-grained control and avoiding Walde-r’s). Check out Hypher (https://github.com/bramstein/hypher). If you’re using Gatsby and Markdown, I wrote a small plugin to be able use it there:

https://www.gatsbyjs.com/plugins/gatsby-remark-hypher/

and

https://github.com/siawyoung/remark-hypher

(An example of how it looks like: https://siawyoung.com)

yes, so as a general rule for any publishing scenario where hyphenation is important you have an automated solution, for example for a small company / single person you might set up something using https://github.com/bramstein/hypher or find a similar tool.

Also this tends to be sort of overkill for what most people want so - as with most tech - gotta evaluate if it's worth the time and effort.
