Custom link styles

In getting started you saw what the built-in styling looks like (both the default and the alternative). In this article you’ll see how to disable the built-in styling and specify your own.

Setup

Initialize Wikipedia Preview without styles by including the following inline code anywhere in your R Markdown document:

`r wikipediapreview::wp_init(with_styles = FALSE)`

Note: If you prefer to have a designated chunk instead of inline code, you can initialize by including the following chunk:

```{r wp-init, results='asis', echo=FALSE}
wikipediapreview::wp_init(with_styles = FALSE)
```

Then you can define your own wiki CSS class from scratch, rather than overriding any built-in rules:

.wiki {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #0645ad;
    border-bottom: 1px dashed #0645ad;
}

Example
