Trying to continue the streak in 2018 from last year (https://t.co/Bc5Lg7xql3)… The R Markdown book just arrived (thanks, everyone: https://t.co/bSXP1sxESf) Wait, it is still July? Okay, I’m going to sleep through the rest of this year. https://t.co/DeZBiqpDEx

Sam Langton (@sh_langton; 17/3): More tessellated map tests in R using IMD data for Birmingham. No easy solution to get a visually appealing and geographically accurate map… depends on the aim. Massive difference in processing time. There’s my first #blogdown post in here somewhere #rstats #sf #geogrid https://t.co/GWMtVh2qXj β†ͺ

James Waters (@lovetheants; 13/5): After four years, updated my lab’s website using #Rstats and #blogdown. https://t.co/l7Y8bsCIEO https://t.co/G2vJiBJhAW β†ͺ

Charles T. Gray (@cantabile; 6/0): @xieyihui @fellgernon @apreshill @bikesRdata @katrinafee Post is up! So much prettier than on github. Thanks for the awesomeness of blogdown, @xieyihui @apreshill

Recle Etino Vibal (@recleev; 2/0): @xieyihui @hivickylai Thanks @xieyihui I tried your favorite and it works. I mainly browsed over sections with js and html in #blogdown book because I really don’t understand js or html πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜­ Thanks for #blogdown I don’t need to worry much about js or html except for a few cases like this 😊 β†ͺ

Yihui Xie (@xieyihui; 2/0): @fellgernon @cantabile @apreshill @bikesRdata @katrinafee Not relevant to blogdown version, I guess. Why did you clean up the .html files? https://t.co/6NCmDV60Ag These files are actually necessary (and shouldn’t be ignored in .gitignore). β†ͺ

Jacquie Tran (@jacquietran; 0/1): Blogdown #rstats folks: Has anyone had problems with .md files rendering properly to HTML? My ‘About’ page used to show up as expected (last time I checked, months ago), but not now… https://t.co/aG6EDSpGBy β†ͺ

Recle Etino Vibal (@recleev; 0/1): If you invested 6k every six months since 1987 Jun in @PhStockExchange index, you would have been a millionaire by 2018 Jun #stocks #investment created with #rstats #blogdown @GoHugoIO @MathJax @hivickylai #introduction https://t.co/eCGCrjinHt β†ͺ

Jacquie Tran (@jacquietran; 0/0): So I ‘addressed’ my #blogdown problem without solving it. Ye olde About page is now in draft mode. I want static pages on my blog eventually, but late on a Friday night is not the time to solve this problem… β†ͺ

Jacquie Tran (@jacquietran; 0/0): FYI I’ve tried updating R and all installed packages, including blogdown. The .md file seems to render as expected when I serve site locally, but somehow not when I push changes to the repo and try to view my site online? β†ͺ

Jacquie Tran (@jacquietran; 0/0): I have a subfolder ‘about’ in the ‘content’ directory, with an ‘https://t.co/xAZp27uuUa’ file, following the structure specified in the blogdown book.

My blogdown repo is here for those that might be willing and able to help me: https://t.co/vBaPNso68x β†ͺ

Amber Thomas (@ProQuesAsker; 28/4): I think I recommend RMarkdown to anyone who will care to listen. @xieyihui, J.J. Allaire, and @StatGarrett’s new book gets into the nitty gritty Rmd magic✨ that I didn’t even know about!

Aliakbar Akbaritabar (Ali) (@Akbaritabar; 1/1): @syknapptic I am not sure if I am missing out on somethings or not, but from when I got in touch with #rmarkdown in #rstats, I remember this was provided in chunk options to define what language it is:

knitr

Ben Marwick (@benmarwick; 4/0): @rctatman Often there are so many #rstats pkgs used in a project it can be hard to decide which ones to cite (do we cite knitr, ggplot2? usually those are not appropriate), here’s some handy advice on that: https://t.co/b8JgUmsFSF β†ͺ

Josef Fruehwald (@JoFrhwld; 4/0): @jvcasill I’ve always found it charming that the command to extract the R code from a knitr document is purl() β†ͺ

Aliakbar Akbaritabar (Ali) (@Akbaritabar; 1/0): @syknapptic my bad, sorry.
Confession: besides “echo=TRUE” & “include=TRUE” to show source on how it works, I have never needed to show what was the engine the code was written in πŸ™ˆ
I tried now as said in:
https://t.co/kttcej82zX
with echo to show chunk options, it doesn’t say the engine:( β†ͺ

Brendan Knapp (@syknapptic; 1/0): #rstats folks,

Is there a knitr/rmarkdown/YAML option to annotate the language engine used for each chunk? Or just include the chunk options in the output somehow?

Something as “raw” as this would work:

```{r}
foo_R( )
```

R output

```{python}
foo_Py( )
```

Py output β†ͺ

Seth Axen (@sdaxen; 0/0): It looks like the kind of workflow I’m thinking of is supported by R Markdown using knitr. Knitr also supports using Python to run chunks, and it natively uses pandoc (and pandoc-citeproc!) to generate outputs. Will give it a shot and report back. https://t.co/hE6NVlZmYL β†ͺ
