I am a huge fan of R and RStudio, especially relative to their use in creating reproducible research (see RStudio as a Research and Writing Platform). I was thus thrilled to learn that a new R package, blogdown, was being developed for producing websites from R Markdown files using RStudio and the static website generator, Hugo.
This website was built and is maintained using blogdown and Hugo running inside of RStudio, and is hosted on GitHub Pages.

Yes, it doth work. The blogdown package can nicely deal with R Markdown containing embedded R code for production of statistical analyses and graphics.
But.
It cannot deal with R Notebooks, which contain a special flavor of R Markdown allowing for interactive display of R code alongside the results they produce. R Notebooks, when rendered into HTML, produce a special file named *.
The R Notebook Habitat structure and phenotypic variation in the invading butterfly Coenonympha tullia is a mockup of a scientific paper (although the field data are real) to illustrate the use of R Notebooks as a means of creating reproducible research. The objective is to produce publication-quality output, in HTML, PDF, and Microsoft Word formats, with text, literature citations, a formatted bibliography, statistical analyses, tables, and graphics, all from one, plain-text R Notebook.
