Vignettes are long form documentation commonly included in packages. Because they are part of the distribution of the package, they need to be as compact as possible. The html_vignette output type provides a custom style sheet (and tweaks some options) to ensure that the resulting html is as small as possible. The html_vignette format:

  • Never uses retina figures
  • Has a smaller default figure size
  • Uses a custom CSS stylesheet instead of the default Twitter Bootstrap style
