OTTR_Template

I was working on adding Google Analytics to some AnVIL books and noticed a couple of things that could use improvement. This PR:

  • removes unneeded html from GA_script (was adding extra head and body tags to the page)
  • renames GA_script.Rhtml -> GA_script.html (there's no R code in this?)

I've tested this in https://github.com/jhudsl/GDSCN_Book_swirl and I'm seeing activity being recorded in Google Analytics dashboard, so it seems to be working correctly.

Wiki

The wiki (https://github.com/jhudsl/OTTR_Template/wiki/Google-Analytics) will also need updating with instructions to include the script in _output.yml (using in_header rather than before_body). I added a new screenshot in this PR, but haven't updated the wiki since this isn't merged yet.

Here's a suggestion for new text for step 7:

7) Add a line to the _output.yml file above the line that starts with `before body:` (i.e. nested under `includes`).  This line should be `in_header: GA_Script.html`.  Make sure this line is indented to the same level as the `before body:` line.

@KatherineCox Thanks so much for these fixes! I think all looks good!

The wiki (https://github.com/jhudsl/OTTR_Template/wiki/Google-Analytics) will also need updating with instructions to include the script in _output.yml (using in_header rather than before_body). I added a new screenshot in this PR, but haven't updated the wiki since this isn't merged yet.

As far as documentation updating, we will want to add and update this on the ottrproject.org website. Probably as a new header in this file: https://github.com/jhudsl/ottr-website/blob/main/more_features.Rmd

Would you be willing/able to file a PR to that repo to make that change? Unfortunately we still hadn't ported over all the wiki changes to the website (this is long been overdue).
