In another episode of “I use R for absolutely everything,” I wrote a post on creating conference posters using R Markdown. If you’re tired of copy-pasting and manually formatting your poster, try out posterdown for reproducible, pretty posters!✨#RStats https://t.co/3cS4VFYdcj

Dan (@FilmicAesthetic; 54366): I’m working on a Shiny app that will take any poem, song lyrics, or short story as an input and produce a visualisation similar to this one I did for Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven.

Ben Andrew (@BenYAndrew; 38377): I’ve been revisiting several probability, statistics & clinical research concepts that I’ve learned through simulation & visualization over the past years.

Niklas Hausmann (@NiklasHausmann; 72): After about 2 years of running a project website with #R #Blogdown I am absolutely loving it!

bookdown

Julian Faraway (@JulianFaraway; 164): Converting from Bookdown to Quarto seemed easy at first but displayed equations, crossreferences and multipanel figures required more work: https://t.co/YESvzFq9Ck

Richard Wilkinson (@wilkinson_rich; 40): @DrAlexBest I use Bookdown, which gives students the choice to download the notes as a pdf or epub file: https://t.co/BBPrJqaicC Would recommend it.

Stephen Wild (@stephenjwild; 40): @bmwiernik @SolomonKurz Also here: https://t.co/0UfBghUwe4

D. Scarnecchia (@mountainherder; 40): This has culminated in the porting of one of our pieces of documentation to a Bookdown generated website, with more to come! https://t.co/2Jc0Pewt8g

Stephen Wild (@stephenjwild; 30): @bmwiernik This might help (from @SolomonKurz): https://t.co/1R6EXwA5eu

Mladen Jovanović (@Physical_Prep; 21): How can the figure/table caption be “dynamic” as with the bookdown/markdown using (ref:) method? See images > #quartopub @quarto_pub #rstats #bookdown https://t.co/958piOCeR7

James Steele, PhD (ジェームズスティールさん) (@JamesSteeleII; 20): @_Matthew_Shaw @magelssen_chr I don’t like about replication of that book, but @SolomonKurz has produced this https://t.co/BMnkN1w0ze

Kelly Bodwin (@KellyBodwin; 672): I’m pleased to announce that today I did the following things without Googling or looking at old notebooks: > + theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 45, hjust = 1) > and > knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE) > #rstats https://t.co/AGFwMUSkOo

Christophe Dervieux (@chrisderv; 110): Really cool new usage of rmarkdown output format and knitr engine ! 😄 Eager to look at the internal @MilesMcBain ! 👏 https://t.co/MLghwv4BY2

William B. Fuckley (@opinonhaver; 91): fuck do files. have your code in a markdown document that you never knit because something in it breaks knitr and you don’t know how to fix it, the way that god intended

Jo Etzel (@JosetAEtzel; 90): @debyee29 Still base R graphics for me! (And no, not sarcasm; check out https://t.co/21czwTGfun and https://t.co/gYgQeUMMMJ.)

June Choe (@yjunechoe; 70): @sharoz You can set that option in [knitr > opts_chunk > R.options > width] ! > 4 ways to do this: 1. Old-style chunk option 2. New-style chunk option 3. YAML global option 4. Evaluated code global option https://t.co/HyPM2OOhdv

Nicola Romanò (@nicoromano; 61): @tangming2005 You can create a hook to intercept long lines and split them. See https://t.co/0bp5zMO9Y8

Steve Haroz 📊👁️🧠 (@sharoz; 50): Does anyone know how to reduce the width of the content in the knitr html output? It’s really wide, but my understanding of the readability literature suggests that under ~80 characters improves comprehension.

Raniere Silva (@rgaiacs; 22): @mxcatnap @quarto_pub Technical choices will depend of people working on the project and project’s size. For a small project with only one person, I would use knitr to compile and reticulate to handle the data sharing between #python and #RStats in the same document.

Lisa Levinson (@lisalevinson; 13): Any #rstats folks know why I can’t currently autocomplete past a $ when using inline R for Rmarkdown reporting in RStudio (2022.07.1)? Is it just me? If I tab at r mtcars$ I just get (No matches). Completes fine in an R chunk or console, and also with r knitr::opts_chunk$.

helmingstay (@prosopis; 11): I just published an expository #MWE template for reproducible production-quality figures with #R, #knitr, and #LaTeX. Comments welcome. #OpenScience #DataScience #ReproducibleReseach @xieyihui @overleaf https://t.co/cgSsdFe2kV

Mickaël CANOUIL (@MickaelCanouil; 11): @mxcatnap @sciencealice @quarto_pub #RStats / #Python is “easy” to achieve using {knitr} engine in #QuartoPub and {reticulate} package.

Josh McNeill (@joshisanonymous; 10): @shilaan01 This feels ripe for another “they design posters… in PowerPoint” uproar. I’m definitely for this for the reproducibility aspect. I do my posters in LaTeX with knitr.

Scott (@scrottie; 10): @sunstarsys https://t.co/a6E7C0asz6 R. R has knitr and pandoc. Give it markdown, get a properly formatted pdf or docx in any of a hundred journal article styles/formats, including citation formation, with support for most MD extensions, inline figure generation, inline data analysis…

Michael Flynn (@flynnpolsci; 20): @adamjnafa I mean, I don’t NEED to redo all of the CSS for my xaringan slides, buuut…

David Ubilava (@DavidUbilava; 13): #RStats #RMarkdown > My xaringan html slide fonts are fine on laptop/desktop, but they don’t scale down (enough) on phone, so they end up getting out of the slide frame. Is there a solution to this? My quick google search didn’t yield much.

ashok (@NotDavidBrent; 12): hello R people, is there a way to convert rmd/html file developed in xaringan to pptx file? #rstats #xaringan #Rprogramming #tidyverse

Michael Flynn (@flynnpolsci; 10): @stephenjwild @adamjnafa I started playing with Quarto a few months ago, having finally converted all of my lecture slides to xaringan, and just thought “Dammit…I’m going to migrate again, aren’t I?” > But yeah, I used beamer for a few years and definitely prefer the markdown based platform much more.
