A minimal example of building Rmd files under the static/ directory of a website based on blogdown and Hugo

This is a repo to host the (Markdown) source files of my personal website, including my Chinese and English blogs, as well as several project websites (such as knitr.) The content of all pages is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.

You are welcome to post comments on my site. To do so, you need to log in using your GitHub account at the bottom of a page. If you have any other feedback, comments, or questions, please post them to my GitHub discussion board.

A technical note

To build the website locally, you must clone this repo with its submodule (use the --recursive argument), e.g.,

git clone --recursive [email protected]:yihui/yihui.org.git

The website is built via the R package blogdown. Please read its documentation for how to use it.

I don't recommend you to study how my website is built, because it is complicated. In particular, the way I manage images is fairly complicated.

Rendering xaringan slides with blogdown: myslides-files directory does not get copied to public/slides/

Hi YiHui

I'm trying to embed xaringan slides in my blogdown/hugo-academic blog, which I created today with current package versions.
I followed the instructions here and the html file in the static/slides/myslides directory is absolutely fine, because it has all its dependencies. However, when it and its dependencies are copied to the public/slides directory during the build_site() process, the myslides-files directory is missed out, so all my lovely ggplots are missing. This is also one of the files that gets cleaned up by rmarkdown::clean_site(), so even if it was not a horrible kludge, manually copying it over isn't a good idea. Have I missed a trick here?
