Dorris Scott (@Dorris_Scott; 30): Now I’m on par with @Voovarb and have updated my #blogdown site. I learned that not updating your site causes much confusion on what you’re doing and a lot can change in a year. So there you go. Make sure to update your site often! #lessonlearned https://t.co/gtQaoP0y77

Maëlle Salmon 🐟 (@ma_salmon; 30): @Dale_Masch In the blogdown package, the new post stuff maybe. > usethis has a function for creating an R Markdown template. > Also see the rticles package.

Mark Sellors 🐠 (@sellorm; 20): @francisko_r @apreshill Great first post! Did you know ‘mkdir -p data/cat-pics’ will make ‘cat-pics’ and ‘data’ if it doesn’t already exist. Also consider adding your site to https://t.co/WTR0tpxEHM

Dorris Scott (@Dorris_Scott; 11): Trying to update my #blogdown site, and it is not as easy as I thought it would be :/. I’ll admit, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve updated it and I think it has to do with my FontAwesome icons but not entirely sure. Anyone having similar issues? #rstats

alex hayes (@alexpghayes; 30): @BayesForDays agree. was envisioning a living bookdown type document

Michael Dorman (@MichaelDorman84; 23): Not long ago discovered ‘fgrep’ #Linux and now use it all the time when editing multiple Rmd with #rstats ‘bookdown’. It’s super convenient for finding duplicate labels, making sure terminology and syntax are uniform, etc. https://t.co/7ZQbmXE1uS

Zoe Meers (@zoe_meers; 10): @JenRichmondPhD This might work: https://t.co/uYkOlv88SW or I quite like the tufte style https://t.co/dPEH70PbOT. I know many orgs have internal latex styles wrapped up into a package. If you have some common internal functions or documents it might be worth doing that for your work.

knitr

Dani Rabaiotti (Believe it or Snot out now!) (@DaniRabaiotti; 50): @LauraJaneGraham @jhaghkerdar Now I really wish there was a presentation about knitR we could all knit in

Kieran Healy (@kjhealy; 40): @alexhanna @RochelleTerman I think to do this properly within RMarkdown, you’d have to have LaTeX be an engine in knitr, in the way that e.g. Python or C is. That wouldn’t be trivial. You could cheat easily (see screenshots), but that would be cheating. https://t.co/mbTKtR0XSi

wladimir (@nucholab; 21): @harrisj @kjhealy @ftrain @doriantaylor Check out ox-ravel. Little fiddly but probably part of the shortest path from .org to .Rmd (for the reverse, knitr+pandoc seems to be the trick)

David Keyes (@dgkeyes; 10): @JonTheGeek @BenjaminWolfe @EmilyRiederer And do I just leave the special vignette stuff in the YAML? i.e. this stuff: > vignette: > %\VignetteEngine{knitr::rmarkdown} %\VignetteIndexEntry{Your Vignette Title} %\VignetteEncoding{UTF-8}

Rochelle Terman (@RochelleTerman; 10): @davclark Apparently you can include arbitrary LaTeX code in rmarkdown and it’ll render as expected in pdf (https://t.co/EdjacycR1i) > I just want to show students the LaTeX Code + What it looks like when typeset. Preferable to use RMarkdown, but I’m open to using something else.

Rochelle Terman (@RochelleTerman; 10): @miket_32 I think this is the right direction, combined with this: https://t.co/EdjacyurSQ > So maybe we need two steps: 1. code chunk with ```latex 2. identical verbatim latex code to render the output as pdf. > (I’m giving up on the html.) > Thanks for the tips!

Susannah Cowtan (she/her) (@SuusJC; 31): Today, I am supposed to be making slides. So of course, I am learning how to customise .css files for #xaringan. My code blocks are easier to read, I think! Success. #rstats @er13_r

Alison Hill (@apreshill; 20): @bwundervald One of my favorite personal favorite xaringan themes! Looks very pretty- great content too 🙌 Thank you for sharing!

Alison Hill (@apreshill; 20): @schotz @allison_horst please do! I’ll share all image files and my xaringan slides after conf, this was too good not to share now!

Benjamin Capistrant (@bencapistrant; 20): Beyond his great pedagogical leadership, a special shout out to @BaumerBen for developing a @SmithCollegeSDS theme for #xaringan slides. I added in the @smithcollegessw logo in there for good measure.

Marcel Ribeiro-Dantas 🙋🏻‍♂️ (@mribeirodantas; 10): @bwundervald Ah, beleza, valeu :-). Eu dei uma olhada rápida no código-fonte e embora parecesse feito com xaringan, a lib js era diferente por isso estranhei 😅

Marcel Ribeiro-Dantas 🙋🏻‍♂️ (@mribeirodantas; 10): @bwundervald Amei seus slides, Bruna! Ri horrores aqui com o Datoo Tidioso hahahha. Você não usou o xaringan para fazer os slides né?

Bruna Wundervald (@bwundervald; 10): @mribeirodantas 🤣 Sim, xaringan sempre! Mas é um tema customizado, no https://t.co/5jHK3mFZO4 tem o código fonte :)

Dilsher Dhillon (@TexanDhillon; 10): @HRJ21 Never really used it myself, but I’ve heard a lot of good things about {xaringan}
