rolldown

Rolldown is an R Markdown extension that builds scroll-driven HTML documents for storytelling, a.k.a scrollytelling, powered by JavaScript libraries. Currently, only Scrollama is supported.

Installation

# Install from GitHub
remotes::install_github("yihui/rolldown")

Get started

You can get started with some built-in R Markdown templates in this package. If you use the RStudio IDE, you can create a new R Markdown document from File -> New File -> R Markdown -> From Template. Then find a rolldown template from the list. If you do not use RStudio, you may use the rmarkdown::draft() function to create a new R Markdown document, e.g.,

rmarkdown::draft('story.Rmd', template = 'scrollama-document', package = 'rolldown')

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
