Bea. (@Chucheria; 29⁄2): I am happy to say that the new version of the R-Ladies website will keep all content in GitHub so any person in charge of change the information does not need to know anything about websites or blogdown. This will give us so much freedom as a community. ↪

I used the #blogdown package in #rstats to create a few webpages. It relies on Hugo, which makes it easier to understand/modify ↪

Solomon Kurz (@SolomonKurz; 2⁄0): @drrachelbrenner With R, you can make your own academic website and blog with the #blogdown package. And with #bookdown, you can publish your own online books. ↪

Dr. Sam Tyner (@sctyner; 11⁄5): Folks who have written books w/ #bookdown, how do you convert b/w output formats? (HTML -> PDF) It seems a lot harder than just switching to bookdown::pdf_book.

Axel-Cleris Gailloty (@cleris_mr; 5⁄1): I wanted to publish a #python project as an online jupyter-book.

Joyce Robbins (@jtrnyc; 1⁄0): @sctyner If you keep it really basic then you can just switch, but the fancier you get, the less compatible they are. knitr::include_graphics for all images (not ![]() ) helps keep images working in both systems ↪
