Jekyll + Rmd + htmlwidgets for sharing/publishing science to the web

Purpose:

• Share interactive Rmarkdown documents with collaborators in a clean interface
• Do it all from within RStudio

How I use it:

• Edit Rmarkdown and preview rendered site in Rstudio using servr::jekyll()
• Use Git with a post-receive hook for building and deploying the Jekyll site remotely
• Git push (from whithin RStudio) now becomes deploy

Based on/Credit to:

• knitr-jekyll by yihui
• htmlwidgets support from brendan-r
• Full-text search with lunr.js (solution borrowed from katydecorah)
• Archive timeline styling borrowed from katydecorah

Requirements:

• Jekyll 3.x
• brocks (in R, devtools::install_github("brendan-r/brocks"))
• jekyll-scholar
• jekyll_file_exists (included in this repo)

Note: if hosting on Github pages, you will have to build the site locally first since the jekyll plugins are not allowed.
