bookdown VS tufte_algorithms_book

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?

Here's the github repo used to create books in the same style: https://github.com/sisl/tufte_algorithms_book

Note that this repo is from the same author as the book.

The authors open-sourced their setup for Tufte-style books: https://github.com/sisl/tufte_algorithms_book

Would be great to merge this format with the Tufte book style using margins for additional information and integrating with programming, e.g., Julia and/or python.
