Andrew Heiss, PhD (@andrewheiss; ⁴⁸⁄₁₀): The content is fairly sparse (since I add assignments and class materials along the way), and the dates are still wrong, but here’s my newest #blogdown #rstats program evaluation/causal inference course website using the delightful Hugo Academic theme! https://t.co/E5Qvp33w9Z ↪

James Wade (@JamesHWade; ⁴⁶⁄₂₀): I wrote a blog post on the measles and vaccines plot from my #TidyTuesday contribution. It was fun to learn #blogdown making the post. Feedback is encouraged!

(((Lukas Kawerau))) (@LukasKawerau; ¹⁄₁): More generally applicable - RMarkdown and @rstudio. Makes blogging, writing and adding analysis to both so much easier and better. Thank you @xieyihui for your work on blogdown, bookdown and everything else in the space! ↪

Andrew Heiss, PhD (@andrewheiss; 0/1): Hey #rstats #blogdown #hugo world! Can anyone help with this obscure issue? Using toc: true in Rmd files does weird things that don’t happen in regular markdown files https://t.co/oqb0SiLtMa ↪

bookdown

Robin Lovelace (@robinlovelace; ⁶⁷⁄₁₇): Textbooks are too expensive. Another motivation for #opensource + online academic materials to add to the list: > ✅ reproducibility ✅ build communities ✅ crowd-sourced peer review, supplementing formal processes > Great selection of open source books: https://t.co/l2LpWZkmK2 https://t.co/KfcAz8C3MA ↪

\mathfrak{Michael “El Muy Muy” Betancourt} (@betanalpha; ³⁰⁄₂): To avoid any confusion, the thing I made was just the bookdown styling. I still have a few more case studies (which are all just proto-chapters) to write and then I have to edit/update all of the rest. I hope to have a draft of a Part I ready by the middle of 2020. https://t.co/spfzBfFDFv ↪

We are R-Ladies (@WeAreRLadies; ¹⁷⁄₁): Have I convinced you to try blogdown?? Good… but now I hear you ask… how? Here are my fav tutorials. The RMarkdown whisperer @apreshill is a blogdown queen.

David John Baker, PhD (@DavidJohnBaker; ⁶⁄₀): 100% agree to this. The future of sharing information is the internet.

Thomas Mock (@thomas_mock; ⁵⁄₂): @eamcvey @grrrck @hrbrmstr @JianghaoWang As far as calling the finale template: - If in a package you can actually call it as a normal .rmd template and can then code as normal! https://t.co/X1cT9EinYn - If the SAME report each time, you can go with paramaterized .rmd https://t.co/oay41NDmZD ↪

\mathfrak{Michael “El Muy Muy” Betancourt} (@betanalpha; ⁴⁄₁): Anyone know if it’s possible to hack bookdown to collapse groups of chapters together in the table of contents? In particular into PARTS headings? I’d love to have a TOC that starts with the Part titles and then expands to the chapters (and sections within chapters) from there. ↪

Nicholas Yarmey (@NickYarmey; ⁴⁄₁): @lkeenereck @rstudio Let’s chat - I’ve been doing this for the last two weeks! I think rmarkdown will be the way to go. I’ve been having good luck with parametrized reports in markdown https://t.co/B594fcbsHj ↪

\mathfrak{Michael “El Muy Muy” Betancourt} (@betanalpha; ³⁄₁): @ChadScherrer @lauretig Bookdown (through pandoc) will give me LaTex and epub, although I’ll have to spend time getting them formatting how I’d like. Definitely part of the plan, but will come later. ↪

Richard Careaga (@technocrat; ²⁄₂): @dgkeyes I don’t have any in-house examples to share, but just about everything you need can be found from the author’s book at https://t.co/s0r7T42vzR However static reports lack functionality for management to vary assumptions to get desired results.

Dr. Holland D (@DocHollandD; ²⁄₀): @Caitydid685 @graymagiker @MartynEcology @BeltzEcology https://t.co/oSdksdtxNt is a good thread - the R Reddit community is nice and responsive, https://t.co/kj3sXhcDUx is also a good resource.

Davis Vaughan (@dvaughan32; ¹⁶⁹⁄₃₄): I’ve been experimenting with a new 📦 to lower the barrier for working with C in R.

Overleaf (@overleaf; ¹⁄₀): @awunderground glad that it helped! You can inject a little literate statistical programming with knitr (https://t.co/8e3jFBvz92) and other packages which allow you to integrate code into your LaTeX documents - interestingly Donald Knuth invented TeX and coined the term ‘literate programming’ ↪

Thomas Mock (@thomas_mock; ⁵⁄₁): @eamcvey @grrrck @hrbrmstr @JianghaoWang Lastly - as far as printing from HTML to PDF (and not needing to also maintain a LaTex framework) - Enter {pagedown} https://t.co/3ftvjYybfP - Keep all the HTML goodies for web and then save output to PDF ↪

xaringan

Howard Baek (@howard_baek; ⁸⁄₃): #rstats Question about xaringan: > I’m not sure how to insert Twitter / LinkedIn / Email icons in my last slide to redirect the viewer to my contact information. I’ve though about using images somehow… > Isn’t there a simple way to do so using css / html? > @xieyihui @apreshill ↪

Ryan Briggs (@ryancbriggs; ⁶⁄₁): I went with xaringan, mostly so that I could have a slide deck with nice themes, incremental reveals, R code, live graphs, and of course gifs. For what I want to do xaringan feels a bit like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, but maybe I’ll grow into it. https://t.co/Unc91Gh6Wo ↪

R-Ladies Barcelona (@RLadiesBCN; ⁶⁄₁): Now @aniabmsi will introduce us to the #rmarkdown friends: xaringan, rticles, pkgdown and many more! https://t.co/Epc8kppPFr ↪

Leon Eyrich Jessen (@jessenleon; ⁵⁄₄): Doing #dataScience in #Rstats using #Tidyverse 💻📊📈📉, I’ve always been a huge fan of the convention of naming your functions according to what they do… So, what’s this all about? - xaringan::infinite_moon_reader() @xieyihui ? - parsnip::bake() @topepos ? https://t.co/jDoVDR6Jce ↪

Nick HK (@nickchk; ³⁄₀): @ryancbriggs @Andrew___Baker @paulgp @ApoorvaRed I also ended up using revealjs for my class since ioslides was missing some things I wanted and I couldn’t get xaringan to work at all. My code is here: https://t.co/sayTUqZwHu ↪

Grant McDermott (@grant_mcdermott; ²⁄₀): @Andrew___Baker @ApoorvaRed @paulgp @ryancbriggs This is because you don’t want to host on a public GitHub repo (and render with raw.githack), right? > An alternative is to convert to PDF. I use and recommend decktape.js https://t.co/XbiirwiqCE > You can even include the final system("...") call in your Rmd file. ↪

Ryan Briggs (@ryancbriggs; ²⁄₀): Up to now I have always used Keynote for presentations. For an undergrad methods class, I’m looking to use some R markdown-type format (R Presentations, slidy, ioslides, xaringan) so students can look under the hood. The ecosystem seems messy though. Anyone have a recommendation? ↪

Will Wheeler (@willwheels; ²⁄₀): @Andrew___Baker @ApoorvaRed @paulgp @ryancbriggs This is a helpful thread. I’ve been trying to switch to R Markdown and it’s not clear what the best presentation format is. I had the same worry about xaringan, I liked reveal, but tried Beamer anyway…and the slide title fonts were garbled when I presented, ffs. ↪

Andrew Baker (@Andrew___Baker; ²⁄₀): @ApoorvaRed @paulgp @ryancbriggs I think xaringan was pretty clear in their write up that it wouldn’t compile to locally. https://t.co/kP467yS1bR ↪

Paul Goldsmith-Pinkham (@paulgp; ²⁄₀): @ryancbriggs I couldn’t get xaringan to work with what I wanted, so ended up using revealjs in Rmd. Agreed that the ecosystem is a bit confusing. I missed beamer many times when I worked with Rmd. ↪

karolou🧚🏻‍♀️ (@karlolics; ¹⁄₀): ativei o xaringan do fodase ↪

Ryan Briggs (@ryancbriggs; ¹⁄₀): @jb_duckmayr Keynote is just less ugly PowerPoint, but I’ve lots of experience with R markdown. I went with xaringan and it seems to be working fine. https://t.co/GOdTJwNEqD ↪

Apoorva Lal (@ApoorvaRed; ¹⁄₀): @Andrew___Baker @paulgp @ryancbriggs huh. i hadn’t tried with xaringan, but it seemed to work fine w vanilla html pages [with interactive / plotly figures and the like]. if you need xaringan, you could try working out of a single gist and using https://t.co/ZmQiSaROSd to render on either end. ↪

Andrew Baker (@Andrew___Baker; ¹⁄₀): @paulgp @ApoorvaRed @ryancbriggs yes please + 1. My real problem with xaringan is that it doesn’t compile to an html, so if you’re working with someone else it is kind of a disaster. Does revealjs get around that? ↪

Andrew Baker (@Andrew___Baker; ¹⁄₀): @paulgp @ApoorvaRed @ryancbriggs Sorry it doesn’t compile to a local html file. So if I knit a regular beamer RMD I can just share it, e.g. by email, with a coauthor. With Xaringan I have to upload it to my website. ↪

Andres Karjus (@AndresKarjus; ¹⁄₀): @nerdpro @DingemanseMark @decksetapp I’ve been using ® markdown for slides for the last ~2y, both conferences & the dataviz workshops. The writing part is indeed nice, it’s just a text file, though fiddling with the layouts to make it look decent in the end can be… fiddly. Packages like xaringan are nice though. ↪
