An Introduction to tint
tint (Eddelbuettel and Gilligan, 2019) updates the look and feel of ‘Tufte’ documents for R. It combines the (html and pdf parts of the) excellent tufte package (Xie and Allaire, 2018) with the Roboto Condensed font use and color scheme proposed by envisioned css plus minor style changes such as removal of italicsÐbut remains otherwise true to the tufte package for R. Later additions are a book style and well as generalisation of the font handling allowing for Lato and Garamond fonts along with extended color selection.
The package name follows an old tradition and is recursive: tint is not tufte. Full documentation is available in the longer PDF vignette, its Lato and Garamond variants (see below) as well as the longer HTML vignette. As these render to about two megabytes each, we no longer include them by default in the package as it swells the size of the installed package unnecessarily
