# Get rid off the sidebar from the second page

Insert a new R chunck right after the YAML (`echo=FALSE`)

```r
.pagedjs_page:not(:first-of-type) {
  --sidebar-width: 0rem;
  --sidebar-background-color: #ffffff;
  --main-width: calc(var(--content-width) - var(--sidebar-width));
  --decorator-horizontal-margin: 0.2in;
}
```

---

# Save your work

- Knit for saving a HTML version

- uncomment the last line in the YAML to produce HTML and PDF versions

```r
---
title: "Lijia Yu's resume"
author: Lijia Yu
date: "`r Sys.Date()`"
output:
  pagedown::html_resume:
    # set it to true for a self-contained HTML page but it'll take longer to render
    self_contained: false
# uncomment this line to produce HTML and PDF in RStudio:
knit: pagedown::chrome_print
---
```
