blogdown is an R package that builds websites and blogs from R Markdown files. The package supports the Hugo static site generator best and uses it by default, and it also supports Jekyll and Hexo. It produces a website that consists of static files. The package is installed from CRAN, and the blogdown book describes the output in its introduction.
Worth knowing
The package lists Hugo and Pandoc as system requirements, so both are installed alongside it.
