Aimee Schwab-McCoy (@AimeeSMcCoy; 2/0): @emayfarris I’d add digging into RMarkdown + blogdown and making a portfolio website, especially if she’s already learning R.

Arif Ali (@arifyali; 1/0): @BenHanowell Definitely more along the lines of the kind of R markdowns I build. I’ve never really had a use case to go with a blogdown, so initial mockup is similar to the flow of current experience. Trying to get external infra figured out first. ↪

Hanowell (@BenHanowell; 1/0): @arifyali For what reason did you not go down blogdown/netlift route? I know from your answers to questions about R devops on Amazon email lists that you definitely know your stuff. So I am guessing you have a good reason, and was curious. ↪

Nils Reimer (@reimthyme; 1/0): @Brooke_Criswell Here’s mine: https://t.co/qUCHfD84xN. It’s hosted on Netlify, made with Hugo and Blogdown, and uses a version of the Minimo theme. ↪

Chase Clark (@ChasingMicrobes; 3/0): @_ColinFay @MilesMcBain @NickForr @UrbanDemog @marskar Agree, but my situation in this case is complicated 😅. But bookdown is totally amenable to being structured as a pkg ↪

Colin Fay 🤘 (@_ColinFay; 3/0): @ChasingMicrobes @MilesMcBain @NickForr @UrbanDemog @marskar FWIW I do use DESCRIPTION inside bookdown projects, so that I can deploy them using remotes::install_local() on the CI, and also if I need to collaborate with other people, that helps bringing in all the dependencies

Michael Bach (@MichaelBach99; 1/1): @ceptional @pandoc (1) Yes, you’re on the mark! YESTERDAY (really!) I moved to bookdown. But that does NOT allow good image position control, at least not for docx output (needed by publisher). (2) Surprise: On illusions & visual phenomena – in German :( ↪

Jesus M. Castagnetto (@jmcastagnetto; 1/1): @AriLamstein @rstatstweet Ah! that bit is handled by knitr (https://t.co/ymdqCv1T2W) IIRC. Also, the book at https://t.co/v8PcaCdRU1, in particular chapters 17 and 18 might help. Also, because #pandoc is the one that finally does the heavy lifting, check https://t.co/vZTImdEyQC ↪

Colin Fay 🤘 (@_ColinFay; 1/0): @wojteksupko Yeah I think the thing that gets at me a lot is that RStudio (and today bookdown) create a lot of file “in the background” and if you forget to gitignore them you have to handle unexpected merge conflict ↪

Cameron Patrick (@camjpatrick; 1/0): @thisisdaryn @dgkeyes if you’re using RStudio projects or git, you could also do something like

library(here)
knitr::opts_knit$set(root.dir = here())

understanding the default behaviour is the first step to changing it to whatever works for you! ↪

Jenny Bryan (@JennyBryan; 1/0): @bmwiernik @dgkeyes knitr has the root.dir option but I ultimately decided that using here to forms paths was a more robust solution, overall

I might be misunderstanding your question, though ↪

Stephen Martin (@smartin2018; 1/0): @dsquintana But yes - I actually did my master’s thesis in Sweave (which has been around for ~ 20 years now! Underrated in psych). Diss. in knitr. Haven’t made the jump to markdown papers, b/c I’m used to latex. Org/babel is similar too (more langs though). ↪

Rupert Overall (@rupertoverall; 1/0): @ChrisBeeley Be careful with this.

  1. This is not specific to knitr, it is a base R function and affects the whole session. Default is digits=7
  2. It does not round to 2 decimal places but 2 digits (see next reply for examples)
  3. You may want to stick with ‘signif’ (not an ‘option’) ↪

Will Landau (@wmlandau; 1/0): @gdbassett @vega_vis @1null1 @ProjectJupyter I am not aware of a pipeline tool that does this, but most are script-based, so multiple reports plus a Makefile could achieve a similar effect. Knitr has an autodep chunk option, but I’m not sure it computes a DAG. ↪

Andrew Kniss 🌱 (@WyoWeeds; 1/0): @TShates I’ve been happy with just using kable() from the knitr package, and it works well for exporting into pdf and word in addition to html.

SAM (@samuelmehr; 1/0): @bmwiernik @GKountourides fully removing tinytex (tlmgr remove --all) and reinstalling it via R seems to have done the trick, though now all my packages are gone 😢 ↪

SAM (@samuelmehr; 1/0): @bmwiernik @GKountourides what’s funny is that tinytex is the distribution I thought I was using in the first place. super weird bug ↪

SAM (@samuelmehr; 1/0): @bmwiernik @GKountourides totally bizarre that TeX would fritz out on its own, though. literally knitted something yesterday on the same machine with no issues… will try to play around with tinytex later ↪

Mine CetinkayaRundel (@minebocek; 1/0): @KellyBodwin You’re welcome! My one issue with this approach is that you end up needing to use the infinite moon reader for the css file to be picked up from another directory (assuming you have xaringan slides), and I have a ❤️/🤬 relationship with the infinite moon reader. ↪

Joseph Casillas (@jvcasill; 1/0): @ChelseaParlett It would be cool if you put them in a public repo. Then I could include them in my #xaringan slides using the url and never download them 😍 ↪
