Also, I think it could be helpful to users to add this example YAML into this doc to complement the example you have for the tufte pkg:

---
title: "An Example Using the Tufte Style"
author: "John Smith"
output:
  tint::tintHtml: 
     self_contained: TRUE
---

This YAML is what I was looking for when I noticed that the URL to the Rmd source was wrong. What do you think?

Now that I have worked on pinp and linl, this one is due for an update.

Now, the PR here was clear. But I am not entirely sure what you by 'this example YAML'. Can you clarify? Or Amazon Prime me some stronger coffee so that I get out of my doze ... ;-)

Yes, I was thinking that for people who don't use the RStudio templates dialog box when starting a new Rmd, and want to edit their YAML by hand, it would be helpful to have a snippet of YAML to copy-paste into a Rmd to get the tint style.

As I skimmed the text at http://eddelbuettel.github.com/tint/, I saw the YAML in the Introduction section for the tufte package. But what I was expecting to see there was the YAML for this tint package so I could style my Rmd with it. I guess that some other readers might have the same experience.

Having the tint YAML handy in that introductory doc that would make it a bit easier for potential users to see how to use the style. Especially if the YAML is the main way they edit R Markdown styles (perhaps it's just me? and Emacs users?). Saves us from having to guess at tint::tint_html etc. or switch contexts to check the pkg manual pages (quelle horreur).

Hope that helps! ☕ ☕

I think we are on the same page. What I may not have know last year and up to the last update of the package is that rmarkdown supports this, and I now show this in the help pages for pinp and linl.

So try, respectively,

R> rmarkdown::draft("myTintHtml.Rmd", template="html", package="tint", edit=FALSE)
R> rmarkdown::draft("myTintPdf.Rmd", template="pdf", package="tint", edit=FALSE)
R> 

If you set edit=TRUE (the default) then an editor gets called. I may have the wrong emacsclient within emacsclient default so no go in ESS but surely works outside. Then again I never set the EDITOR option ...

Edit: So ESS itself sets options("editor") to emacsclient but I can't call emacsclient from within emacsclient. Stallman clearly needs another MacArthur grant to solve that problem for me ...
