tufte 0.3

NEW FEATURES

• It is possible to select a subset of some features of the default Tufte style (tufte-css) via the tufte_features argument of tufte_html():

  • Disable the et-book fonts.
  • Remove the default light-yellow background color.
  • Use italics for document headers or not.

• A new variant of the Tufte style, envisioned, is added to tufte_html(). You can use tufte_html(tufte_variant = 'envisioned') to enable this style. The major difference with the default Tufte style is: the font family is Roboto Condensed, the background color is #fefefe, and the text color is #222 (thanks, @eddelbuettel, #21).

• You can choose whether references from citations should be placed in the document margins or at the bottom using the margin_references argument of tufte_html() (thanks, @stefanfritsch, #49).

BUG FIXES

• When link-citations: no in YAML, citations should not be moved into the page margin in the HTML output (http://stackoverflow.com/q/39053097/559676).

• Horizontal lines could bisect margin notes and footnotes (thanks, @ajdamico, #32).

• Compatibility issues with Pandoc 2.0 (thanks, @peetCreative, #51).
