R: Convert R Markdown to a PDF book

pdf_book {bookdown} | R Documentation

## Convert R Markdown to a PDF book

### Description

Convert R Markdown files to PDF after resolving the special tokens of bookdown (e.g., the tokens for references and labels) to native LaTeX commands.

### Usage

    pdf_book(toc = TRUE, number_sections = TRUE, fig_caption = TRUE, ...,
        base_format = rmarkdown::pdf_document, toc_unnumbered = TRUE, toc_appendix = FALSE,
        toc_bib = FALSE, quote_footer = NULL, highlight_bw = FALSE)

### Arguments

`toc, number_sections, fig_caption` | See `rmarkdown::pdf_document`, or the documentation of the `base_format` function.
`...` | Other arguments to be passed to `base_format`.
`base_format` | An output format function to be used as the base format.
`toc_unnumbered` | Whether to add unnumberred headers to the table of contents.
`toc_appendix` | Whether to add the appendix to the table of contents.
`toc_bib` | Whether to add the bibliography section to the table of contents.
`quote_footer` | If a character vector of length 2 and the quote footer starts with three dashes (---), `quote_footer[1]` will be prepended to the footer, and `quote_footer[2]` will be appended; if `NULL`, the quote footer will not be processed.
`highlight_bw` | Whether to convert colors for syntax highlighting to black-and-white (grayscale).

### Details

This function is based on `rmarkdown::pdf_document` (by default) with better default arguments. You can also change the default format to other LaTeX/PDF format functions using the `base_format` argument.

The global R option `bookdown.post.latex` can be set to a function to post-process the LaTeX output. This function takes the character vector of the LaTeX output as its input argument, and should return a character vector to be written to the ‘.tex’ output file. This gives you full power to post-process the LaTeX output.

### Note

This output format can only be used with `render_book()`.
