Knit R and Book Publishing

Hello All,

I have finished my first R package, BondLab, and it will be available in Feb 2016. ? I wrote the book and R package concurrently. ?Prior, I had very little programming experience other than VBA and using others R packages. ?

During the learning process I came to know literate programming and reproducible research. ?Now, ?I have a viable package and I would like re-write the book in R Studio with knitr. ?I have had some success with LYX but I think I can do the whole thing in R studio. ?The first edition was done in TexMaker.

I really want to set the next project up in R Studio, I would really like to open source the next edition like Hadley's recent books but I really don't know how it was all done. ?Any starting points to set this up are appreciated.

I would have thought that the first place to look was R Studio support
site. You will find a lot of (Imo well done) docs there as well as links to
Hadley's and Yihui's books and online docs.

https://github.com/hadley/adv-r is how it was done.
