Chapter 1 Getting started

The quickest way to get started is to use the bookdown demo as a template. This page gives instructions for how to do this.

The bookdown: Authoring Books and Technical Documents with R Markdown is the main documentation for bookdown. I won’t repeat a lot of the information here.

This guide will walk through the steps I used to convert my LaTeX lecture notes for PH40112 to the bookdown version here. The files used to create the PH40112 notes are available on github and you’re welcome to use those as a starting point.
