Arguments

fig_caption, number_sections, self_contained, anchor_sections, lib_dir, pandoc_args, code_folding, extra_dependencies, ...: Arguments to be passed to rmarkdown::html_document() (... not including toc, and theme).
global_numbering: If TRUE, number figures and tables globally throughout a document (e.g., Figure 1, Figure 2, ...). If FALSE, number them sequentially within sections (e.g., Figure 1.1, Figure 1.2, ..., Figure 5.1, Figure 5.2, ...). Note that global_numbering = FALSE will not work with number_sections = FALSE because sections are not numbered.
template: Pandoc template to use for rendering. Pass "default" to use the bookdown default template; pass a path to use a custom template. The default template should be sufficient for most use cases. In case you want to develop a custom template, we highly recommend to start from the default template: https://github.com/rstudio/bookdown/blob/master/inst/templates/gitbook.html.
split_by: How to name the HTML output files from the book: rmd uses the base filenames of the input Rmd files to create the HTML filenames, e.g. generate chapter1.html for chapter1.Rmd; none or "0" means do not split the HTML file (the book will be a single HTML file); chapter or "1" means split the file by the first-level headers; section or "2" means the second-level headers, "3"-"6" means split the file by the [3-6]-level headers. For chapter, section and "1"-"6", the HTML filenames will be determined by the header ID's, e.g. the filename for the first chapter with a chapter title # Introduction will be introduction.html; for "chapter+number", "section+number" and "[1-6]+number" the chapter/section (and higher level section) numbers will be prepended to the HTML filenames, e.g. 1-introduction.html and 2-1-literature.html.
split_bib: Whether to split the bibliography onto separate pages where the citations are actually used.
config: A list of configuration options for the gitbook style, such as the font/theme settings.
table_css: TRUE to load gitbook's default CSS for tables. Choose FALSE to unload and use customized CSS (for example, bootstrap) via the css option. Default is TRUE.
