# copy_webapps_templates.r

# INSTRUCTIONS Run this script one time only. This will download the WebApps'
# template files to your local repository. You will then edit the files using
# RStudio. When editing, save, commit, and push all files normally and they will
# automatically be updated on the WebApp at 00:00 GMT every day.

# To edit the equations displayed on the WebApp's goals page, you will edit
# conf/goals.Rmd. The equations are written in a format similar to LaTex; use
# current equations as a syntax guide. To view the rendered equations, press the
# 'Knit HTML' button when working with goals.Rmd.
# Learn more about LaTex syntax at https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Mathematics.
# Learn about .Rmd formatting at http://shiny.rstudio.com/articles/rmarkdown.html

# To edit the text content that is displayed on your WebApp, edit only the text
# headers and descriptions; all other information is automatically rendered with
# the most recent content in rgn_labels.csv, layers.csv, goals.Rmd, and
# scores.csv and your changes will be overwritten. Do not change any of the
# formatting or spacing.
