Is that possible to have FrontPage Image a) BEFORE first chapter title, b) BEFORE book title?
Currently the only way to include any frontpage image seems to be AFTER the first-level (non-empty) heading, like below:
---
knit: "bookdown::render_book"
site: bookdown::bookdown_site
documentclass: book
author: "Me Mine"
title: "«My Book»"
---
# Frontpage
```{r, echo=FALSE, out.width="60%", fig.align = "center"}
knitr::include_graphics( "nice-frontpage-image.jpg" )
)
# Introduction
...
It would have been so much better if I can do this (without having to have unneeded #Frontpage chapter):
---
knit: "bookdown::render_book"
site: bookdown::bookdown_site
documentclass: book
author: "Me Mine"
title: "«My Book»"
---
```{r, echo=FALSE, out.width="60%", fig.align = "center"}
knitr::include_graphics( "nice-frontpage-image.jpg" )
)
# Introduction
...
And this (i.e. image goes before the title):
---
knit: "bookdown::render_book"
site: bookdown::bookdown_site
documentclass: book
author: "Me Mine"
title: `r knitr::include_graphics( "nice-frontpage-image.jpg" )`
)"\n «My Book»"
---
# Introduction
...
Is that possible?
PS I found a related still unaswered question here: Index.Rmd without first-level heading
