Documentation: Add a New Page

After you’ve forked and checked out this project from Github, you should have a directory structure that looks similar to the following.


The source files for the documentation are in the rmd directory.


The top level menue structure for the application is in the “_site.yml” file.


To create a new page, add a new .Rmd file to the rmd folder.


Add content to the page using R-markdown and HTML. To preview a page, press the “Knit” button at the top of the RStudio UI. The entire web site can be build by setting the working directory and then running rmarkdown::render_site().


After rmarkdown::render_site() has been run, the site can be browsed by opening one of the html files in the ./docs folder using a web browser.

When you’re done with your edits run rmarkdown::render_site(), commit your work, and create a pull request (see the Git Quickstart Guide for instructions on committing and creating a pull request).
