## Output options
|
||||
|
||||
Each output format is associated with an R function. You can either write `foo` or `pkg::foo`. If you omit, `pkg` the default is assumed to be rmarkdown. It's important to know the name of the function that makes the output because that's where you get help. For example, to figure out what parameters you can set with `html_document`, look at `?rmarkdown::html_document`

To override the default parameter values, you need to use an expanded `output` field. For example, if you wanted to render an `html_document` with a floating table of contents, you'd use:

## Notebooks
|

|

A notebook, `html_notebook`, is a variation on a `html_document`. The rendered outputs are very similar, but the purpose is different. A `html_document` is focussed on communicating with decision makers, while a notebook is focussed on collaborating with other data scientists. These different purposes lead to using the HTML output in different ways. Both HTML outputs will contain the fully rendered output, but the notebook also contains the full source code. That means you can use the `.nb.html` generated by the notebook in two ways:

Emailing `.nb.html` files is a simple way to share analyses with your colleagues. But things will get painful as soon as they want to make changes. If this starts to happen, it's a good time to learn Git and GitHub. Learning Git and GitHub is definitely painful at first, but the collaboration payoff is huge. As mentioned earlier, Git and GitHub are outside the scope of the book, but there's one tip that's useful if you're already using them: use both `html_notebook` and `github_document` outputs:

You can also use R Markdown to produce presentations. You get less visual control than with a tool like Keynote or PowerPoint, but automatically inserting the results of your R code into a presentation can save a huge amount of time. Presentations work by dividing your content into slides, with a new slide beginning at each first (`#`) or second (`##`) level header. You can also insert a horizontal rule (`***`) to create a new slide without a header.

HTML is an interactive format, and you can take advantage of that interactivity with __htmlwidgets__, R functions that produce interactive HTML visualisations. For example, take the __leaflet__ map below. If you're viewing this page on the web, you can drag the map around, zoom in and out, etc. You obviously can't do that on a book, so rmarkdown automatically inserts a static screenshot for you.

I can't show you a live shiny app here because shiny interactions occur on the __server-side__. This means you can write interactive apps without knowing JavaScript, but it means that you need a server to run it on. This introduces a logistical issue: Shiny apps need a Shiny server to be run online. When you run shiny apps on your own computer, shiny automatically sets up a shiny server for you, but you need a public facing shiny server if you want to publish this sort of interactivity online. That's the fundamental trade-off of shiny: you can do anything in a shiny document that you can do in R, but it that requires someone to be running R.
