blogdown

blogdown is an R package that enables you to create websites using R Markdown documents. It integrates with static site generators like Hugo to build sites that can include executable R code, rendered outputs (graphics, tables, widgets), and technical writing elements like citations and LaTeX math.

The package is designed for creating flexible, general-purpose websites beyond simple blogs, allowing you to organize content in subdirectories unlike other R Markdown website solutions. It provides live preview functionality that automatically rebuilds and refreshes your site as you edit files. blogdown supports multiple static site generators and thousands of themes, making it suitable for data science portfolios, documentation sites, educational materials, and technical blogs.
