Hello all rstats friends!
I am wondering if there is a way to adjust the output format of tufte::tufte_handout to enable cross reference figures and tables, and to use latex environments provided by bookdown such as theorem?
you can use the base_format argument of function as explained in the documentation
But this format is already included in bookdown I think. See 3.1 HTML | bookdown: Authoring Books and Technical Documents with R Markdown and end of page here 3.2 LaTeX/PDF | bookdown: Authoring Books and Technical Documents with R Markdown
You can change the
base_formatfunction to other output format functions, and bookdown has provided a simple wrapper functiontufte_book2(), which is basicallypdf_book(base_format = tufte::tufte_book), to produce a PDF book using the Tufte PDF style (again, see the tufte package).
Are you looking from something different than the bookdown::tufte_* functions included in the 
?
Thanks, I got the misconception that only formats in the rticles package can be used in base_format. But when I got a error message
! LaTeX Error: Environment cslreferences undefined.
error: LaTeX failed to compile tufte.tex. See https://yihui.org/tinytex/r/#debugging for debugging tips. See tufte.log for more info.

Why don't you use bookdown::tufte_book2() ?
Is this working with bookdown::tufte_book2() ?
Can you try with the bookdown function and see if you got the same error ?
It could be a bug as in rmarkdown failed to compile rticles · Issue #260 · rstudio/rticles · GitHub
In fact this has already been fixed in dev version of tufte 
.
See https://github.com/rstudio/tufte/pull/80
You need to install the dev version of tufte for now

Thanks. bookdown::tufte_book2 does not work either, but the development version fixes both cases.
