Maybe "borrow" from the BioC vignettes? about prettydoc

[yixuan]

Hi Dirk,

This is great -- I was unware of this template before I wrote prettydoc. I'll contact the authors later to see what is the best way to "borrow" from. Probably including it in prettydoc is more convenient for non-BioC R users.

Another R Markdown template is the tufte package by @yihui. This package can be easily installed from R, so I may refer to it in the documentation in the future version of prettydoc.

Yes, precisely -- I tend not to go to BioC or update so having it via prettydoc on CRAN would be great to avoid getting it stale.

According to the discussion in Bioconductor/BiocStyle#10 we probably would better just refer to it.

Thanks for that. Was unaware of their intent to going full featured. I guess there is room for both.

Worst, once they change, you could resurrect their theme (with attribution, maybe different colours) but it is not a must have. I just wanted to point this out to you -- so thanks for following up. I agree that closing it is the best course of action now.

I guess one of the major concerns is the identity of Bioconductor, so the preferred way may be to include templates that have noticeably different styles from BiocStyle. 😏
