Many variables (like weather) come in a raster format. Hope the book helps.

Tiffany Timbers (@TiffanyTimbers; 12/3): .@apreshill @minebocek - you can embed learnr in bookdown! (I find this very very exciting!!!) https://t.co/Buj1o8gOGT

David Alex Smith (@david_a_smith; 10/0): @Astro_Nerd Maybe bookdown? Write in markdown, nice equation rendering, run R and Python code if needed, source control in git. Keep for yourself or easily publish to lots of different formats. https://t.co/5TNaHSQWTj

Linuxtoy 🐧 (@linuxtoy; 9/2): Markdown 只是源格式,它会转换成 LaTeX 再输出。另外,Bookdown 也是用 Markdown 作为源,其作者已经用它出版几本专著了。 https://t.co/V5dAp8QPCB

Adam Fleischhacker (@preposterior; 5/3): Added a draft chapter on decision making and made sure everything is working with R 4.0. Such an easy process😀All the key pieces #rstats #bookdown #gretastats #DiagrammeR #tidyverse #TensorFlow work together flawlessly. https://t.co/itLNeiHPIz

Deirdre Toher (@dtoher; 5/0): A lovely primer for beginners on using rmarkdown.

In related news, I had a very promising discussion with technical people about using bookdown as a way of getting Ally to create alternative formats for large documents previously created using LaTeX may be possible! https://t.co/EGs9qFgfxB

Maëlle Salmon (@ma_salmon; 2/0): @LVaudor If you’re ok with less privacy here’s a solution for Google Analytics, by @benmarwick https://t.co/RgFkZOqxRt – I guess you’d need to also add a GDPR thing somewhere.

Peter Higgins (@ibddoctor; 1/0): @tylermorganwall @LPMKremer Is there a way to insert this animation as a gif into a bookdown e-book (with credit, of course) for medical #rstats beginners, just to give them an idea of what is possible in #rstats?

Umberto Mignozzetti (@umbertomig; 1/0): @TaylorBoas Not sure if you are an R fan, but a more radical idea could be to use R Markdown. For me, it works great! They have a useful package called bookdown.

Chris Tomlinson (@tomlincr; 1/0): Gosh Lexical Scoping and for loops are a tedious combination! 🤯

No matter how many times I read https://t.co/U79lp0S0gu by @rdpeng it still catches me out..

Brett J. Gall (@brettjgall; 1/0): @joshmccrain It’s the rmdformats in the YAML https://t.co/au7cUK2A0l

Deirdre Toher (@dtoher; 1/0): @nj_tierney @alicesweeting So useful - especially as it looks like rmarkdown (and specifically bookdown) may be the way to go when it comes to generating accessible typesetting of mathematics (and more).

Tiffany Timbers (@TiffanyTimbers; 1/0): @apreshill @dcossyle It seems like more iframes magic could solve this problem given that a learnr app can have multiple exercises? Adding the iframe to bookdown seems to be the easier part.

Alison Presmanes Hill (@apreshill; 1/0): @TiffanyTimbers @dcossyle Yea, this is where you hit the wall- there isn’t currently (that I know of) a good way to have multiple Rmds in a bundle (like bookdown) with executable code chunks. The Rmd tutorial output format (https://t.co/QGzwttvnIv) is the closest, but still single 😭

UWE Maths and Stats (@UWE_MathsStats; 0/1): Note: it is possible to convert .tex to .rmd using pandoc in order to start creating bookdown documents from existing .tex files.

However, markdown does not have the same range of fonts available as LaTeX.

sean laverty (@seanteachesmath; 0/1): Anybody out there that’s used PreTeXt and bookdown?

knitr

Alison Presmanes Hill (@apreshill; 19/3): @tjmahr FWIW, my favorite thing to show beginners to when asked the “but why” question, is to show the magic of fig.path as a knitr chunk options, so your figures get sensible names :) https://t.co/vv3chC0cTo

Jon Henner (@jmhenner; 15/0): Oh. My. Universe.

I love knitR. I can’t believe I was too intimidated to implement it into my code work in the past. It’s actually really easy and already I’m being super productive with it.

Emily Riederer (@EmilyRiederer; 6/0): For ex, spent some time last year in the {knitr} repo and it was so fun and educational to peak under the hood and has been very helpful since in debugging and hacking around the edges.

Alex Thompson (@ecofiz1; 3/1): For the last 6 months I’ve silently struggled with an Rmarkdown problem that prevented me from using knitr. I installed and uninstalled pandoc countless times.

Today I realized I just needed to update my OS. https://t.co/mRD7AigxLj

Joshua Shapiro (@jashapiro; 3/0): I may or may not have spent the last couple hours diving into the bowels of knitr to implement a thing that may already exist somewhere and is probably better done done some other way, but I had fun. Some cleanup and documentation and I’ll probably post a draft tomorrow.

Jon Henner (@jmhenner; 3/0): @AthenaNeuro It lets you embed your coding workflow and results in an html, pdf, or word doc to share with the rest of the team. It lets you create elegant and reproducible documents which is important if you’re a contracted statistician like I am in several cases.

Sam Albers (@big_bad_sam; 2/0): @adamhsparks @bearloga My first code and prose together moment was with Sweave. My first happy code and prose together moment was with knitr.

Matt Sams (@DrMattSams; 1/0): @DylHicks Aside from gt, knitr::kable plus kableExtra. https://t.co/gU5yvHxr0P it, DT, and formattable have been my go-to packages for table creation prior to gt. I haven’t messed with gt yet, but I imagine it’s good, too.

bruce.moran (@bruler0111; 1/0): @mgalactus @tangming2005 +1 Jupyter notebooks, great for interactive work, and can be used in a workflow setting as per Marco’s method once finalised. Also GitHub renders pushed notebooks, which works for viewing plots and code together. And finally, can be exported to Rmd and knitr’d into PDF/html/etc.

Tormod Bøe (@tormodboe; 1/0): Knitr::spin() - why did it take me 10 years to realize this amazingness?

Adam H. Sparks (@adamhsparks; 1/0): @bearloga I just realised, RStudio still uses Sweave in the tools menu here. I wonder how many folks have ever even used Sweave with the advent of Knitr. I know I’ve not written a new file in years. I still have some old .Rnw files from around 2009-2010 laying around though.

Brandon M. Lind (@iowensis; 1/0): @scisus You could weigh frustration with knitr against time setting up an R kernel in jupyter (shouldn’t be long). I really like the ease of delineating cells for execution in jupyter vs R markdown-like things eg the ``` wrapper . https://t.co/RyumbDFbqM
