Coding in Analysis and Research Survey

The contents of the rmarkdown folder can be used to generate a template site to present results from the second wave of the Coding in Analysis and Research Survey (CARS).

Adding/modifying content

The files needed to render the site can be found in the rmarkdown/ folder. To amend pages, make modifications to the .rmd files. To add pages, create new .rmd files and place them in the rmarkdown/ folder. For example, to create a new page called "page 2" add the file page2.rmd.

To make changes to the navigation bar, edit the _site.yml file. When adding new pages, make sure to refer to them in the .yml file. For example:

navbar:
  title: "My Website"
  left:
    - text: "Home"
      href: index.html
    - text: "Page 1"
      href: page1.html

The text for each link does not have to be the exact title as the page.

Style changes can be made by amending style.css.

Rendering the site

The site can be rendered from R or RStudio. Ensure you have RMarkdown and yaml (the R package) installed.

To render the site, run the build_site.r script. The script will use the R project root as the working directory.
