Chapter 4 Student Guide
4.1 Activity One
Many of the AnVIL books that are designed for teaching a class or workshop contain information aimed at the instructor.
You might want to create a “student guide” that contains a different subset of Rmd files from your book, or renders to a different output format (e.g. word document). You can specify the output and Rmd files that will be used for the student guide using the _output.yml and _bookdown.yml files in the student-guide directory.
By default, repositories based on AnVIL_Template create a docx file containing this chapter as an example. Once you have adjusted student-guide/bookdown.yml to include the chapters you want in your student guide, you can link to it by replacing {repo-name} in the following URL:
https://github.com/jhudsl/{repo-name}/raw/main/student-guide/docs/Student_Guide.docx
When someone clicks this link, they will download the docx file. For example, here is the link for the student guide from AnVIL_Template:
