blogdown

Alison Hill (@apreshill; 91/22): We just did a ⚡️ @Netlify deployment demo session at #rstudioconf for the Advanced R Markdown workshop. If you are curious how to deploy all the #rstats things on Netlify (#pkgdown, #xaringan, #bookdown, #blogdown)- take a look at this link list:

Emily Robinson (@robinson_es; 44/8): Why start a blog?

Check out more reasons in @drob’s post https://t.co/xC3RFWm2Td and if you’re in #rstats use blogdown to get started! #rstudioconf ↪

Emily Robinson (@robinson_es; 32/2): .@xieyihui after @drob shared Yihui’s books on blogdown and bookdown in his keynote:
“I have a very important question - did I pay you to promote my two books?”
Drob: “Was that an option?”
😂 #Rstudioconf ↪

Alison Hill (@apreshill; 30/4): Inspired by @drob’s keynote at #rstudioconf but don’t know where/how to start with #blogdown? I’ll be at this BoF- happy to help 🤝#rladies https://t.co/QAqlWXsFfM ↪

Bruna Wundervald (@bwundervald; 26/7): we just had an amazing talk at #rstudioconf by @drob about the importance of sharing knowledge (https://t.co/JR2pcp24I2)

about this specific slide, I recommend the radix theme for blogdown, which creates a citation format for each blogpost: https://t.co/mugqlhsuqc #rstats
💜 https://t.co/e1oGkmqfmo ↪

Alison Hill (@apreshill; 19/1): And back in time- @drob’s first piece of advice was to blog!

I’m totally biased but I 💕 using #blogdown

Jennifer Thompson (@jent103; 16/3): Materials from the workshop (also covering blogdown, bookdown, flexdashboards, RMarkdown extensions, and knitr details) are on this very excellent web site: https://t.co/x8Amcp20T1 ↪

Ben Ackerman (@backerman150; 11/2): @william_goedel I use Blogdown for mine! If you use #rstats regularly for work, I highly recommend it. Super easy to update/maintain, and lots of online support (i.e. book by @xieyihui: https://t.co/KZcMcOaTCv, tutorial by @apreshill: https://t.co/uIxwrg3j2Z) ↪

Alison Hill (@apreshill; 10/0): Success! #rstudioconf #blogdown https://t.co/kjOpC9VpKA ↪

Birunda Chelliah (@cbirunda; 9/1): How to start a blog? – use blogdown!

Charles T. Gray (@cantabile; 6/0): @sharlagelfand @ma_salmon I was so excited when you were in the slack coffee chat! @dataandme and @kierisi, @sharlagelfand should totally be in our plane chat.

You have to meet @ma_salmon. Saw her speak about blogging, and now I’m onto my second iteration of my blogdown:: blog - radix::-style, now! ↪

Yihui Xie (@xieyihui; 5/0): @jent103 @andrewheiss @apreshill I feel this pain, too. I have tried my best in 2017 to disable knitting by default, but due to a limitation of the RStudio IDE, I don’t really have control in blogdown to decide how a single post is knitted. ↪

R-Ladies Canberra (@RLadiesCanberra; 4/2): If you are looking for an excuse to start blogging, here’s a good reason to start one! #rladies #rstats

Here’s some resources for you to get started in #blogdown:
📕 @apreshill’s post https://t.co/8XibAa6YCJ
📗 @xieyihui @ProQuesAsker @apreshill book https://t.co/T72lkAPc1G https://t.co/8tiHSIwYER ↪

Emi Tanaka 🌾 (@statsgen; 2/0): @john_t_ormerod @WeichangY He built his first blogdown website today :) ↪

Martin John Hadley (@martinjhnhadley; 2/0): @xieyihui @jent103 @andrewheiss @apreshill It’s not very friendly but could we add a new YAML option to blogdown warn_on_knit = true as default for all new posts created through the add-in and throw an error to the user before knitting even starts? ↪

Jamie Lendrum (@jamie_lendrum; 2/0): @StrictlyStat @bcaffo P.S. Totally off-topic, but your YouTube video on blogdown single handedly got my blog up and running. ↪

Jamie Lendrum (@jamie_lendrum; 2/0): @TomorrowsIcons @rstatstweet @apreshill @Rbloggers I’ve never used rvest before, but I don’t think it would as blogdown uses Hugo which is a static website generator. ↪

fonzie (@OilGains; 1/1): Wouldn’t be amazing to have an Evernote-like note taker made in #rstats using the ideas and paradigm of #blogdown, #bookdown written only in lovely #markdown? @xieyihui ↪

The ability preview my GitHub pages website from a PR is legit. ↪

Alexander Antonison (@adantonison; 1/0): What better way to combat my inability to sleep than to redo my website with #blogdown (https://t.co/It988P1Yyy) and work on getting my first post out the door. ↪

Martin Skarzynski (@marskar; 1/0): @LittleMissData Awesome, I haven’t migrated my site https://t.co/9MI29nMOdR to blogdown yet, but I have a working draft: https://t.co/knw1hMPt3M that has almost the same content as my jekyll site: https://t.co/nwmbsf1duo ↪

David Robinson (@drob; 1/0): @Rick_Scavetta @Medium I didn’t mention Medium bc I love to push blogdown, but Medium is another great option, and especially useful if you’re not going to be adding much code ↪

Christina Tripp Saunders (@TrippSaunders; 1/0): @xieyihui creator of R Markdown, bookdown, blogdown… “I’m responsible for a lot of things “down”…. but not the government shutdown” 😂🤣 #rstudioconf ↪

A_maninaworld (@TomorrowsIcons; 0/2): I scraped a table from a site using #rvest and added the table to my #blogdown website. Would this automatically update every time? I just want to clarification. If not, what’s the best option to have this automated? #taskscheduleR Any suggestions? #Rstats @apreshill @Rbloggers ↪

Yan Lyesin (@yanlesin; 0/0): @stroughtonsmith Hugo or other plus blogdown package using RStudio might be an option too ↪

Alison Hill (@apreshill; 0/0): @EngelhardtCR new academic requires updated Hugo version 0.53 (https://t.co/SD7kUw84pU), which version are you running?

Alison Hill (@apreshill; 0/0): @EngelhardtCR just upgraded from 0.52 and seeing it too. I’ll file on blogdown with @xieyihui b/c it looks like the exampleSite structure has changed, and so many things are different…. ↪

Chris Engelhardt (@EngelhardtCR; 0/0): @apreshill Have you recently tried to make a fresh blogdown site with the hugo academic theme? Basic install seems to throw an error out of the box (but works for, say, future imperfect): Error: Unable to find theme Directory: C:\Users...\blog\themes\themes\hugo-academic ↪

chris diaz (@chrisdaaz; 0/0): rstudio + the blogdown R package might be the easiest, most user friendly way to create a static website https://t.co/zO338L7fg1 ↪

Jozef Hajnala (@jozefhajnala; 0/0): @xieyihui @jent103 @andrewheiss @apreshill Why is this such an issue? There are very simple ways to just undo the changes done by knit(), either with git or blogdown itself. ↪

Jason Winget (@iplusfour; 0/0): Trying to revive my old blog, this time using #blogdown and hugo. Spending a lot of time messing around with themes and deployment right now and not happy with either. Any thoughts? ↪

Stas Kolenikov (@StatStas; 0/0): #RStudioConf @xieyihui preview in HTML in your browser or in Infinite Moon Reader addin in the Ctrl-Shift-3 window. (You are familiar with the latter if you worked with blogdown and bookdown.) ↪

Jason Gantenberg (@EvilMammoth; 0/0): @william_goedel I use it to enrich my hosting company by paying for shit I don’t use! Alas.

I’ve worked with Wordpress (through my own hosting account). For academic purposes, I agree w/ those counseling something like blogdown. Check out Radix websites (RMarkdown), too. Host it all on Github. ↪

Gabriel A. Devenyi (@gadevenyi; 0/0): Anyone who uses R/rmarkdown/knitr two questions

  1. how do I make the figures bigger in an html rendering?
  2. how do I make the html page width wider?

Both these things seem to be very hard to find answers to… ↪

Gabriel A. Devenyi (@gadevenyi; 0/0): Seriously rmarkdown/knitr I just want to make your html page width not so damned narrow! Why is that so hard! ↪

Russell S. Pierce (@RussellSPierce; 0/0): @hadleywickham @SomeStatsGuy It seems like you could use knitr’s cache to cache the date if you really wanted. But hard coding does seem less complex. ↪

Andrew Heiss, PhD (@andrewheiss; 0/0): @apreshill @d_olivaw @jent103 It doesn’t completely get clean, though—like, I’ve found that it’ll leave figure folders that knitr generates ↪

lisa hoffman (@lisahoffmannyc; 0/0): Not my usual style, but this would be so fun to knit.

Felix Mannhardt (@fmannhardt; 0/0): @felhberg @RBupar Thanks. Yes, it is implemented as an htmlwidget, so calling:
p <- animate_process(example_log)
htmlwidgets::saveWidget(p, file = “test.html”)
should work.
You can also embed it into an Rmarkdown report with knitR with some caveats regarding auto-sizing. ↪

pagedown

Emily Robinson (@robinson_es; 110/27): Wow - with @xieyihui and @RLesur’s pagedown, you can make posters, write letters, create a resume … check it out! Still experimental but looks super promising https://t.co/HoyRc5MeX2 #rstudioconf https://t.co/FEccPlu3UO ↪

Karl Broman (@kwbroman; 85/18): No one anticipates my needs like @xieyihui. And boy do I need pagedown. #rstudioconf CVs/resumes, posters, and business letters in #RMarkdown. https://t.co/DXePRLWMQY ↪

Sharon Machlis (@sharon000; 5/1): #rstats pagedown package is at https://t.co/wnWXl1nKcZ

Sharon Machlis (@sharon000; 4/1): pagedown #rstats package is still new, @xieyihui cautions #rstudioconf. Formats include resume, “posters,” letters, books, and business cards, as well as paged PDFs. Some HTML samples:

tinytex

Amelia McNamara (@AmeliaMN; 9/1): @MilesMcBain for tinytex, you can see the magic because of all the pain of LaTeX, which @xieyihui has outlined for us in a Hall of Pain. https://t.co/PQYuXRo3FA #rstudioconf ↪

Jennifer Thompson (@jent103; 4/2): “The magic of tool is that it grants you power while saving you from pain.” @MilesMcBain notes that that pain is individual. Special mentions for dplyr and tinytex (amen)

This concept can also be a design tool - what do you need saving from?

Jessica Streeter (@phillynerd; 2/2): 3rd rmarkdown report delivered! Biggest frustration: proxy settings at work. City firewalls stop tinytex from working well at office, but not on my off-site laptop. And of course no IT folks at work use R. So rmd files with kableExtra can only get written at home :l #RStats ↪

xaringan

Alison Hill (@apreshill; 229/59): I’m not a ninja, but sharing my favorite #xaringan tricks we talked about in the Advanced R Markdown workshop at #rstudioconf. Slides are here: https://t.co/z4FZ1cgRuJ

First up: name your slides! Makes it easier to link out and cross reference within deck https://t.co/zVswMzkivf https://t.co/HrOF4t5juG ↪

Jennifer Thompson (@jent103; 58/15): Thread 👇with some A+ #xaringan knowledge from this week’s advanced RMarkdown workshop at #rstudioconf! Naming slides = 🤯 https://t.co/84hMZfNBiW ↪

Alison Hill (@apreshill; 33/8): You never get a second chance to make a first impression- 💅🏾 your #xaringan title slide (featuring title slides by @old_man_chester @jent103 @juliasilge)

https://t.co/amXyVWMv21 https://t.co/yZWOcwirDQ ↪

Alison Hill (@apreshill; 30/4): Turn on code highlighting if you want to show us your code in your #xaringan slides!

As @dataandme says: “Just do it. Life is better when things are colourful.”
https://t.co/ZSlB5Rlbim

You can also highlight individual lines in your code input and output 🖍️ https://t.co/xdn2odJqyQ ↪

Emi Tanaka 🌾 (@statsgen; 28/8): Check out my colleague @garthtarr’s #xaringan theme! Well thought-out explanations and in particular I’m loving the scroll output 😍 #rstats

🔗 https://t.co/M5TkmsfaKQ

Of course, watch out for printing of the slides because the bottom part of scroll won’t print out! ↪

Charles T. Gray (@cantabile; 22/1): Hands down one of my favourite R tricks this year - xaringan:: –> blog. It’s so easy to do @visnut could explain the steps to me as we briefly stopped to say hi. Cheers!

Now I have a talks tab on my blog, no more usbs at conferences for me
https://t.co/jlR8wDRKkc https://t.co/Xcv5FHqK1U ↪

Alison Hill (@apreshill; 18/3): Sometimes you just need a logo ™️ in your #xaringan slides, use layouts to do this:
https://t.co/bhYcwOG5Ti https://t.co/OxEsG6K0MF ↪

Alison Hill (@apreshill; 15/2): Finally, add static images. Background images can be full bleed easily without using CSS (directly) in #xaringan 📸

Malcolm Barrett 🦁🐻 (@malco_barrett; 13/1): Didn’t get to say hi to @xieyihui but did finally get my xaringan sticker thanks to @zhiiiyang #rstudioconf https://t.co/jKZiSRuQuO ↪

Olivier Klein (@olivier_klein; 12/4): Just discovered something great in #RMarkdown. If you want to preview a doc before knitting it, execute this command (with the Markdown code open in @rstudio):
install.packages(xaringan)
library(xaringan)
infinite_moon_reader() ↪
