| Distill for R Markdown is a web publishing format optimized for scientific and technical communication. Distill articles include: | |
| - Reader-friendly typography that adapts well to mobile devices. | |
| - Features essential to technical writing like [LaTeX math](#equations), [citations], and [footnotes](#footnotes-and-asides). | |
| - Flexible [figure layout](figures.html) options (e.g. displaying figures at a larger width than the article text). | |
| - Attractively rendered [tables](tables.html) with optional support for pagination. | |
| - Support for a wide variety of [diagramming tools](diagrams.html) for illustrating concepts. | |
| - The ability to incorporate JavaScript and D3-based [interactive visualizations](interactivity.html). | |
| - A variety of ways to [publish articles](publish_article.html), including support for publishing sets of articles as a [Distill website](website.html) or as a [Distill blog](blog.html). | |
| Distill for R Markdown is based on the [Distill web framework](https://github.com/distillpub/template), which was originally created for use in the Distill Machine Learning Journal [@distill]. Distill for R Markdown combines the technical authoring features of Distill with [R Markdown](https://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/), enabling a fully reproducible workflow based on literate programming [@knuth1984]. | |
