bookdown 0.46

• publish_book() will prompt to delete local bookdown.org records (only local configurations, not the book itself) if the book has been published to bookdown.org before. The bookdown.org server will be sunset soon in early 2026. Now we recommend that you publish to connect.posit.cloud instead.

• Removed tests for xfun::with_ext() that don't belong to this package.

bookdown 0.45

• gitbook() TOC now works again with Pandoc 3.2.1 and above (thanks, @privefl, #1503).

bookdown 0.44

• Figure numbering is now correctly working in HTML with Pandoc 3, when Markdown syntax is used to include images (thanks, @N0rbert, #1467).

• Removed the CSS property -webkit-touch-callout: none; from gitbook (thanks, @AlbertLei, #1500).

bookdown 0.43

• Support split_by for section level higher than 2 (i.e., ## sections) in gitbook (thanks, @katrinabrock #1490, @lcougnaud #1346 #1347).

bookdown 0.42

• New option in gitbook's font settings menu to control line spacing (thanks, @hayden-MB, #1479).

• New configuration setting include_md to control whether the input search includes .md source files in addition to .Rmd (thanks, @katrinabrock #1483, @kylelundstedt #956).

bookdown 0.41

• New mathjax-config option for bs4_book and gitbook to control MathJax config string (thanks, @bwu62, #1472). The option can be set either in the YAML metadata or as a variable in pandoc_args. Currently tested and supported settings:

  • If empty, defaults to original TeX-MML-AM_CHTML which renders all equations in common HTML.
  • If set to TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML renders equations in HTML + CSS (which may look nicer for some equations).
  • If set to TeX-MML-AM_SVG renders equations in SVG.

• Fixed the bug that render_book() fails due to file.rename() being unable to rename files across different disk volumes (thanks, @Giqles @katrinabrock, #804).

bookdown 0.40

• Footnotes are not rendered correctly when katex is used to render LaTeX math expressions (thanks, @pbreheny, #1470).

bookdown 0.39

• Fixed a bug that bs4_book() errors on generating document description. The error occured when the beggining of the document is a very long sentence without spaces (> 197 characters), which typically happens in CJK languages (thanks, @wangzhen89 @atusy, #1463).

bookdown 0.38

• Fixed a bug that gitbook() may generate an empty search index on certain platforms (thanks, @UlvHare, #1454).

bookdown 0.37

• Custom config files passed to the config_file argument of render_book() are no longer temporarily renamed to _bookdown.yml (thanks, @debruine, #1307).

• Do not move all _files directories temporarily to the _bookdown_files directory when calling render_book() (thanks, @steeleb, #1307).
