### notes to self
### use the "Build Website" button in the Build tab in the top R Rstudio pane to rebuild everything
###
### in the console (set directory to source directory, though Rstudio probably does that) use e.g. 
# > distill::create_article("Copyright_and_permissions")
# > distill::create_article("Welcome")
### to create new pages 
### then you have to add them to the _site.yml file to get them on the navigation top menu:
    # - text: "Welcome"
    #   href: "Welcome.html"
### probably shouldn't have more than one or two more there
### in the console (ditto) use
# distill::create_post("Handling overprinting")
### to create new posts (which are added to the blog automatically)
# <https://rstudio.github.io/distill> has the documentation (very minimal: functions not usage)
### I have used the following

This has all been created using the distill package in R (and in Rstudio).  Distill is a publication format for scientific and technical writing designed for the web.  There is quite a bit more information about distill at <https://rstudio.github.io/distill> but until I found the extremely helpful R-ladies <https://rladies.org/> youtube (ugh) presentation by Maëlle Salmon <https://masalmon.eu/> at <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xyc4-bJjdys> I was struggling to get going with the information on the github pages so a big thank you to Maëlle.
