Yesterday at #cascadiarconf I officially announced my WIP #rstats package, slidex, for converting PPTX slides to #xaringan. Please give it a whirl, if you have interest, and let me know how it goes! https://t.co/jck4z0eTMU https://t.co/qCtXA9kIbU

blogdown

Jorge Camoes (@wisevis; 5/0): I desperately need to play with #blogdown and other cool #rstats packages instead of finishing this thing I’m doing now that can actually pay some bills.

Gareth Netto (@GarethNetto; 2/1): Is it just me or is the hardest thing about starting a blog, writing the “About” page… #blogdown #blogging

Stacey Smith (@iochromaland; 2/0): @omearabrian My first thought upon reading this reply, was ‘well, harumph’ and also ‘what the heck is blogdown’. Which I suppose only proves that I am an indeed an old fogie.

Brian O’Meara (@omearabrian; 0/1): @iochromaland I mean, you did write a book. An actual one on paper. AND you travel the world collecting organisms. The new systematists use blogdown and impute their trees. ;-)

[yes, I use blogdown, too]

knitr

Travis Gerke (@travisgerke; 3/0): @thosjleeper I have often had this same thought; recently stumbled on the finalfit 📦 from @ewenharrison which has nicely suited many of my needs. Worth a look!

Pavel Iosad (@anghyflawn; 1/0): @VerbingNouns @sj2915 @kev_watson Hedges: you can do the R bit equally well in both because knitr is amazing; I’ve been a LaTeX user for over 12 years so take anything I say with that in mind.

Luke Sonnet (@LukeSonnet; 0/0): @guygrossman @rstudio Knitr allows you to interweave R code into native LaTeX, which I find lowers costs for those familiar w latex and R but not markdown.

xaringan

Daniel Anderson (@datalorax_; 72/20): Yesterday at #cascadiarconf I officially announced my WIP #rstats package, slidex, for converting PPTX slides to #xaringan. Please give it a whirl, if you have interest, and let me know how it goes! https://t.co/jck4z0eTMU https://t.co/qCtXA9kIbU

Emi Tanaka 🌾 (@statsgen; 1/0): @selinalow @antonwasson I’m using beamer at the moment but I’m going to move onto xaringan next

Carlos (@coforfe; 0/0): This package is a work-in-progress, but is aimed at making the process of converting Microsoft PowerPoint slides to beautiful HTML xaringan slides as seamless as possible, maintaining tables,figures, links, and bulleted lists. https://t.co/ScSvxN7mWM https://t.co/TMPoVY3HuO
