 Bookdown

Written in R, but also relies on pandoc, so quite bad dependency wise.

Cross files references to IDs: yes. But no check by default for duplicates when doing automatic ID from title. Just automatically disambiguates with -1, -2 suffixes, and links take the last one available.

Source page splitting: splits at h2 by default. If configurable, likely always af fixed level?

Has some nice image generation from inline code from standard R plotting functions.

The installatoin Rscript -e 'bookdown::render_book("index.Rmd")' takes several minutes, it compiles a bunch of stuff from source apparently. but it did work.
