Style Guide

We use plain R+markdown for these guides. Since they are served in iFrames on http://egap.org links do not work so well. Because of that, we recommend using [Hello, world!](http://example.com/){target="_blank"} when you insert links.

How to make webpages from these files.

In RStudio, click "Knit to HTML".

At the R console do:

library(rmarkdown)
render("nameoffile.Rmd")

Once you have an html file, if you haven't already changed the links to open in a new tab do something like this at the command line to loop through all directories:

for X in */; do cd "$X"; sed -i.bak 's|href="http|target="_blank" href="http|g' *.html; cd ..; done

Or do this in a single directory:

sed -i.bak 's|href="http|target="_blank" href="http|g' *.html

When writing new guides

To ensure that links are opened in a new tab write links like this [Hello, world!](http://example.com/){target="_blank"}
