## Addendum
- Preparing graphics for the web presents an additional hurdle. The HTML specification assumes a screen resolution of 96ppi since that was the predominant screen resolution at the time. Modern monitors have a much higher resolution but the assumption is still in effect (though operating systems may mitigate it). This is the reason why plots may look slightly smaller when rendered through Shiny, blogdown, or hugodown. Simply set the resolution to 96ppi and use pixel dimensions for the output to make sure it has the correct scaling.
