Cameron Patrick (@camjpatrick; 180): I created my personal website with blogdown three years ago, I’m now at least two R-based web authoring systems beyond what is currently cool or recommended. real old man yells at cloud computing feelings. https://t.co/pQfam3j2uV

Ben Marwick (@benmarwick; 70): @AFredston I like @apreshill’s detailed and authoritative tutorials on blogdown for this, https://t.co/p9vTUV7qd5 the Apero theme, https://t.co/eoRarO7wgh and her book: https://t.co/tgHEzYi6Pc

Mikhail Popov (@bearloga; 40): Just fixed a few issues I overlooked yesterday. I also added a compatibility table to the README.

knitr

Tom Mock (@thomas_mock; 172): @IsabellaGhement I’d recommend a RMD doc and then you save the plots and context together. > knitr option for fig.path so you can have the RMD and then output the plots separately if you wanted to share them/use them manually. > See #5 at: https://t.co/7EFv8t9whc

danny “disco” mcClanahan (@hipsterelectron; 111): @joe_no_privacy @defnotbeka i really like using RMarkdown and knitr if i’m doing only R but org-babel is utterly sick. R E A L L Y want to make an implementation outside of elisp

Lisa DeBruine 🏳️‍🌈 (@LisaDeBruine; 90): @ephemeralidea @PsyTeachR If you only have 2 hours and it’s a practical, you can give students a skeleton file with example code and sections to fill in independently. That way they all start with working code. > If you use Rmd, set the knitr opts error=T so they can still knit with errors.

Jannik (@jannikbuhr; 63): @wmlandau @JamesHWade @apreshill Be prepared for magic: since quarto uses knitr as the engine for code execution if an R chunk is the first thing it finds (https://t.co/pN9L3GsDoh), custom knitr engines still work in quarto documents. I just tested it with the targets Rmd template.

Lisa DeBruine 🏳️‍🌈 (@LisaDeBruine; 60): Another student had this problem today trying to insert a table using inline R. Now I just need to find which part of knitr handles .inline.hook so I can submit a pull request with a better error message. https://t.co/814zRMzHYQ

Will Landau (@wmlandau; 50): @JamesHWade @apreshill It would be possible to bring back {targets …} code chunks if Quarto supported alternative/custom knitr engines.

Garrick Aden-Buie (@grrrck; 30): @dgkeyes Oh interesting. That’s a cool idea! You might be able to get there with slightly off-label usage of knitr::opts_current$set().

Lisa DeBruine 🏳️‍🌈 (@LisaDeBruine; 10): @sharoz Ooh, ragg is the problem! If I set knitr::opts_chunk$set(dev = “ragg_png”) for the bookdown, the bookdown plots that previously worked are garbled. ggsave now uses ragg by default, so I had to turn that off by setting device=png and now it works!

Philipp Bayer (@PhilippBayer; 10): @IsabellaGhement @bradyajohnston I think that will be the same! workflowr enforces directory-paths relative to the RStudio project folder https://t.co/vHiTfgJtGU > you can also force that behaviour using knitr::opts_knit$set(root.dir = rprojroot::find_rstudio_root_file()) https://t.co/yabPmfoLiT

Alison Presmanes Hill (@apreshill; 10): @tjmahr I will say it is very hard to be using each framework simultaneously- hence the notes 😬 I had a lot of knitr/rmarkdown interference (perhaps more than your everyday user, but perhaps similar to you 😜)

baptiste (@baptnz; 10): @thomas_mock @quarto_pub Thanks, I’d missed that. Do you know why the results aren’t injected in the AST instead? I remember suggesting it to Yihui a couple of years ago, as an alternative to knitr’s implementation. The reason then seemed to be historical (pandoc’s AST transform being younger than knitr)

Damien Dupré (@damien_dupre; 10): @apreshill Quick question, was #| not introduced first in {knitr} v1.35? Because we can already use the hashpipe in R Markdown files, I’m still unsure of the advantages of Quarto but I’ll give it a try just to see. Thanks for sharing your experience

Lluís Revilla Sancho (@Lluis_Revilla; 10): @charliejhadley This is also possible with rmarkdown, it has to do with knitr accepting this (and quarto using knitr)

Joachim K. Rennstich (@digprof; 10): @GKountourides @ReproducibiliT @ukrepro Also be sure to check out the incredible resources by @xieyihui, especially https://t.co/02fCGWXBzm

xaringan

David Keyes (@dgkeyes; 170): Apropos of absolutely nothing, I just want to say that I love the custom xaringan theme we use for @rfortherest. https://t.co/LyhUDqtwIg

Karina Bartolomé (@karbartolome; 101): Estaba renderizando mucho unas xaringan slides para ver cómo quedaba algo del final. Cambié un par de evals en chunks por eval=condicion, con condicion=FALSE al principio mientras hago las pruebas –> recomiendo

Kieran Healy (@kjhealy; 80): Quarto is a v. interesting project that I’ve played with but haven’t looked at in detail because I expected it to be in flux (which it is). For me the main pain-point—just in terms of existing investment—would be the loss of support for Xaringan, but there are a lot of benefits. https://t.co/B5GdQMQ1zO

TuQmano (@TuQmano; 72): Y ahí, amigues, se ve una de las maravillas de laburar con #rstatsES #rstats > Sitio armado con {distill} y que se vale de {xaringan} + una adaptación de las ‘automagic_tabs’ de {skinfedatar} para hacer esa magia en unas pocas lineas de código. > Ejemplo: https://t.co/p9nagt95h1 https://t.co/WDW6qBrKdd

Thomas Lumley (@tslumley; 60): @DrJWolfson I’ll put in a plug for xaringan and its HTML slides – especially if you want to show any code or computer output.

Statistik Dresden (@StatistikInDD; 41): Feels like such an improvement to have teaching material on github. Used to have many folders with different versions from different events. Plus, it is linked to the change from Powerpoint to #rmarkdown / #xaringan. > #rstats #reproducibleresearch

Zoë Turner (@Letxuga007; 40): @spcanelon The wonderful thing about this slide deck is that it’s built in {xaringan} about {xaringan} so I learned techniques from the slide content and also how they were used by @spcanelon.

Zoë Turner (@Letxuga007; 40): A reference: as a learner I’ve been able to go back over the workshop which is easy (ish) to do if it’s recorded but not as easy as referencing a particular slide. I learned {xaringan} using @spcanelon’s slides https://t.co/Den9DHVNIf

Jannik (@jannikbuhr; 30): @amundortiz @apreshill I was also skeptical of revealjs over xaringan, but in combination with quarto I am now super happy with it. Especially with the sensible defaults quarto brings for the theme.

Ariel Mundo (@amundortiz; 30): @apreshill I’ve recently made the decision to use Quarto to creat slides for teaching, and I have to say that it’s pretty good! I now some RMarkdown and Xaringan users (like myself) are a bit hesitant but having all the options in the same place is very convenient.

Grant McDermott (@grant_mcdermott; 20): @kjhealy The main appeal of Xaringan is customization. It was (is) much easier to insert multi-column environments etc. than vanilla Rmd. But the fact that it’s non-Pandoc markdown is a real bummer for conversion. > I think Quarto gives you the former without sacrificing the latter.

Statistik Dresden (@StatistikInDD; 20): So much fun to combine modules via #rmarkdown, using child = “module.Rmd”. R code in one place - no more editing R code in Powerpoint slides. And, using #xaringan / html presentation, I can include interactive elements like #plotly, #DT::datatable(), etc.

Ahmadou Dicko (@dickoah; 11): @kjhealy For an #RStats user, I don’t see much benefit yet. For e.g with R you can package your templates (e.g branding). Not sure how to build templates and share them with quarto. I also concur on xaringan!

Christophe Dervieux (@chrisderv; 10): @ellamkaye Xaringan does not use pandoc’s markdown and use remark.js. Which makes is different to Quarto presentation based on revealjs. Some added features to quarto presentation are inspired by xaringan directly. > So it just offers a different choice IMO. Use what suits you best 😄

Athanasia Mowinckel (@DrMowinckels; 10): @sometimes_data Mainly keystroke differences? Like, most people have it quite engrained to ctrl+s frequently to save. Rendering at the same time can be nice. But ctrl+shift+K is a bit more special and not everyone will span that as much. > Personally, I use xaringan infinite moon reader

Suman Khanal 🇳🇵 (@sumanstats; 0/1): @daniela_witten What’s your opinion on xaringan, quarto? > #RStats

Guillaume Coqueret (@g_coqueret; 0/1): @KracheyMatthew @daniela_witten I started with ioslides but now I stick to xaringan. I think it’s the most flexible presentation format for #rstats users.
