Is it possible to render word document from Rmarkdown Tufte template?

I am writing a document in RStudio / Rmarkdown using Tufte style template. It creates pdf or html documents but is it possible to get the same output as a Word document?

Solution

  • No, or at least not easily as the inner workings as the style template are implemented explicitly for pdf and html.

    You could look into adding this for Word yourself. I do not know how feasible that is.

    I have forked the Tufte style and updated it to something a wee bit more modern looking (crisper font, no pale yellow background, ...) which I called 'tint' (for 'tint is not Tufte', gotta remain recursive). Its web page, the GitHub repo, and CRAN page all have some more information.
