          @dan-knight looks like we need to fix links here as well. https://uclahs-cds.github.io/package-BoutrosLab-plotting-general/

Ah, looks like (for now) we need to manually rebuild and deploy the pkgdown site. We should look into automating this as well.

@jarbet Did you ever work on this with Stefan? Or are we starting from scratch?

@dan-knight: I have not worked with pkgdown before

[dan-knight]

No worries. I'll look into doing it manually to get the hang of it, but it should be straightforward to automate with a GH action since it's running on GH Pages.

Update: Using this r-lib example action as a guide, I can build and deploy from an action. This now begs the question: Should the pkgdown docs website be synced to themain branch, or to the latest release? In other words, should this run on every push to main, or just on releases? (Our decision here will apply to all R packages, and could even be extended to other types of repo if a similar thing exists in other languages.)

Sorry is there an update on this? The links to specific plot pages seem to still be broken: https://uclahs-cds.github.io/public-R-BoutrosLab-plotting-general/reference/create.boxplot.html

@lydiayliu : I've been using this website instead, that @tyamaguchi-ucla sent me: https://github.com/uclahs-cds/package-BoutrosLab-plotting-general#function-reference

But I agree, it be good to fix the links in the github.io website version as well!
