How to break a long R markdown document

I often find that in using RStudio R markdown, the resulting HTML can get quite long and heavy. What strategies can someone use to break down or otherwise manage long documents?

This is the default behavior of bookdown. See Chapter 3 of its documentation for details. In particular, look for the option split_by in 3.1.1 and 3.4.

Create a table of contents (TOC) to move quickly to the different sections of your document. You do it by requesting a toc in the doc header, something like this:

---
title: "MyDoc"
output:
  html_document:
    toc: yes
---

Instead of being stuck at the top of a long document you can also produce a “floating toc" by adding a custom css-file. Have a look at this example.
