Yihui Xie (@xieyihui; 60): @gavinprm Extremely stable, as long as you follow blogdown::check_site()’s instructions. The Hugo purgatory has been left long behind us.

Meghan Hall (@MeghanMHall; 30): @alfredogmarquez @thomas_mock I have a site in Hugo/blogdown, as well (which I also really like!), so I can confirm distill was easier to set up! I’d highly recommend it for a personal blog or other simple site (I’m using it for a course website). Tom’s guide covers everything you need :)

Gavin Masterson, PhD 🐍🐸📊🇿🇦🇸🇪 (@gavinprm; 22): Hi #rstats. What’s the stability of Hugo like now? I’m thinking of using blogdown to showcase a project but my last blogdown website is stuck in Hugo purgatory. I don’t want to be left with endless rendering headaches.

Houston H. 💉💉🎉 Haynes (@h3techdev; 21): @isaac_abraham @LyalinDotCom @asp_net @qmatteoq FWIW I saw @ardalis use this feature with demoing TDD workflow with one of his own code katas and it was tight. I’m a fan of the concept - in fact the thing that sucked me into the #rstats world was @rstudio’s REPL and hot reload in blogdown - so I’m here for it. 👍

Brad Weiner (@brad_weiner; 10): @EpiEllie RStudio + Blogdown + Hugo + GitHub + Netlify.

Yihui Xie (@xieyihui; 10): @SorenWilke If you know which old Hugo version you used before, you could install it with blogdown::install_hugo(version) instead of downgrading blogdown. Then follow the instructions in the console. If anything breaks, usually blogdown::check_site() can tell you what to do to fix it.

Yihui Xie (@xieyihui; 10): @SorenWilke May I learn more about “repairing killed Hugo”? What does it mean? Thanks! (And to answer D4: blogdown::check_site() is almost surely the truth).

jebyrnes (@jebyrnes; 10): @juliasilge @FloatingForests Oh no! And to clean up that blog post. Still getting used to making blogdown do what I want it to with images….

Sören Wilke (@SorenWilke; 10): @xieyihui Yes, blogdown::install_hugo(“whatever netlify said”) saved the day (No.3). Thanks for the tip with check_site.

Will Landau (@wmlandau; 80): Decided to pivot to a different interface: https://t.co/jV2uyf7dCM. Slightly less Markdown/script-oriented, but far more powerful and with less risk of conflicting with the interfaces of {knitr} or {targets}. https://t.co/yP7jzz888D

Dilsher Singh Dhillon (@dhillon_stats; 30): @Ben_D_Douglas @rstats4ds You can write warning = FALSE, message = FALSE in whatever chunk you don’t want the warnings and messages to appear. If you wanted to do this for the whole document, you can do something like knitr$opts(warning = FALSE, message = FALSE) in your first chunk.

Garrick Aden-Buie (@grrrck; 30): @yoniceedee @chrisderv @wmlandau @jaredlander @gshotwell @iflores_siaca @PeeltothePithy I like the pattern in this {details} example a lot for registering knitr engines: using a helper function to register the engine and calling that function in .onLoad()

Christophe Dervieux (@chrisderv; 30): @wmlandau @gshotwell @grrrck @iflores_siaca @PeeltothePithy @jaredlander 😅 this part is still missing better docs. We did not include it in this version of the R Markdown Cookbook. Best way is to look how custom formats are implemented (like distill). Output format is way to control rmarkdown & knitr behavior, Including pre/post processing.

yoni sidi (@yoniceedee; 20): @grrrck @chrisderv @wmlandau @jaredlander @gshotwell @iflores_siaca @PeeltothePithy after i had two packages that i used regularly in workflows that i had chunk engines (in addition to knitr) for i had to generalize and make them identifiable and replicable (and simpler to debug/maintain) for loading multiple packages

Will Landau (@wmlandau; 11): Does anyone know how to supply language objects to chunk options in #knitr/#rmarkdown? Seems to work with fig.cap and fig.alt but not others, even when I set them in knitr::opts_knit$set(eval.after = …)

Dale Maschette 🐟🧗‍♂️ (@Dale_Masch; 10): @AmyStringer11 So - I have discovered you can pull out pieces of code using knitr::read_chunk() but it relies on you putting a label tag ## —- in the chunk you cant use the rmd chunk label as far as I can tell.

Will Landau (@wmlandau; 10): @jaredlander @gshotwell @chrisderv @grrrck @iflores_siaca @PeeltothePithy @chrisderv, is it normal / good practice for a package to assign {knitr} engines in .onLoad()? I think it would be super convenient for users if you could just call library(targets) in a report and have the chunk engines immediately available.

Umut Oguzoglu (@HopeEcon; 10): @Ben_D_Douglas you can suppress messages/warnings/code with : knitr::opts_chunk$set( echo = FALSE, messages = FALSE, warnings = FALSE)

Marcelo (@m_r_avila; 10): @SallumMig isso diminui a probabilidade de ser encoding. se possivel, recrie em utf-8 (dá pra colocar como padrao pra todos os documentos); o autor do knitr diz que suportar multiplos encoding foi a pior decisão deste pacote… (https://t.co/E3z6TVbBlh) https://t.co/L6okwkUSxF
