Kapitel 8 Sharing your book
8.1 Publishing
HTML books can be published online, see: https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/publishing.html
8.2 404 pages
By default, users will be directed to a 404 page if they try to access a webpage that cannot be found. If you’d like to customize your 404 page instead of using the default, you may add either a _404.Rmd
or _404.md
file to your project root and use code and/or Markdown syntax.
8.3 Metadata for sharing
Bookdown HTML books will provide HTML metadata for social sharing on platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, using information you provide in the index.Rmd
YAML. To setup, set the url
for your book and the path to your cover-image
file. Your book’s title
and description
are also used.
This gitbook
uses the same social sharing data across all chapters in your book- all links shared will look the same.
Specify your book’s source repository on GitHub using the edit
key under the configuration options in the _output.yml
file, which allows users to suggest an edit by linking to a chapter’s source file.
