Self-contained format

[dmenne]

When I create a self-contained HTML and remove the _book folder or move it to another directory, the content is ok, but the layout is strange with two scrollbars:

--- 
title: "Authoring A Book with R Markdown"
date: "`r Sys.Date()`"
author: "Dieter Menne"
knit: "bookdown::render_book"
output:
  bookdown::gitbook: 
    self_contained: true

---

# Index

yml:

book_filename: "dieter-bookdown.Rmd"
chapter_name: "Chapter "
rmd_files: [ "index.Rmd", "c.Rmd", "b.Rmd", "a.Rmd" ]

You were looking at the wrong output, and the actual output files are in the _book directory. dieter-bookdown.html was only the intermediate HTML file that I forgot to delete (now it will be deleted).

Please see http://rstudio.github.io/bookdown/a-single-document.html and typically you are not recommended to use self_contained = TRUE for gitbook output for reasons explained at http://rstudio.github.io/bookdown/html.html (search for self_contained). Also note MathJax may not work when self_contained = TRUE.
