Joachim Schork (@JoachimSchork; 29482): Hey, I’ve published an extensive introduction on how to apply a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) using R.

Henrik Bengtsson (@henrikbengtsson; 166): #RStats wish: a near-zero-friction way for the reader of a {pkgdown}, {bookdown}, {blogdown}, Quarto, … to report on typos, grammars, etc. Something like a light-weight in-page commenting framework which only takes a click or two to submit. Ideally, no signing required

Solomon Kurz (@SolomonKurz; 90): @tcarpenter216 My website runs on #blogdown, and git/GitHub are part of my blogdown workflow. A lot of the little problems I solve in my [in]formal scientific work end up in blogs.

Emil Hvitfeldt (@Emil_Hvitfeldt; 10): @ArthurGailes IMO You don’t need to switch all your rmarkdown files to quarto. I would however encourage new documents to be quarto. Also I haven’t changed my blogdown over because I wouldn’t get much benefit from it

Amit Grinson (@Amit_Levinson; 10): In their #blogdown book Alison and Yihui warn about choosing and configuring a complicated theme. Moving a theme + my code to #quarto definitely had it’s toll and took time to configure. Eventually I prevailed 🔥💪 >>

Igor Pedroza (@pdrza; 10): @gryposouza Considerando seu interesse em Data Science, veja o blogdown. O céu é o limite.

David Grubbs (@crcgrubbsd; 328): I am a Senior Editor of #Statistics and #DataScience books at @CRC_MathStats.

Mickaël CANOUIL (@MickaelCanouil@fosstodon.org) (@MickaelCanouil; 22): @rappa753 what?! This means you never used this {knitr} feature in {rmarkdown} 😱 You were definitely missing something.

Dan Devine (@DanJDevine; 10): @turnbulldugarte @nathanihoff Don’t know how much help as I avoided the math-y ones! But I actually found the website for metafor R package good (https://t.co/n3OyiZwMiW) and this Bookdown guide (https://t.co/J0MCocXZb9)

Jack Davison (@JDavison; 10): These are the headliners, but there are many other changes - nicer defaults, better documentation, more options to control outputs, etc. Read the NEWS (and raise issues) on the dev site (https://t.co/Tp2EQyNbEd). Updates to openair book (https://t.co/bJIBCdhPRr) forthcoming! 55 [↪](https://twitter.com/JDavison/status/1597504228590698496)

Henrik Bengtsson (@henrikbengtsson; 30): And not to be forgotten, @xieyihui’s {knitr} is also doing some heavy lifting under the hood

tidyverse tweets (@tidyversetweets; 11): relationship between Quarto and rmarkdown, knitr, pandoc, bookdown, jupyter #tidyverse #rstats https://t.co/HC8NUCcbel

Andrew Irwin (@WoodpointIrwin; 10): #R question: I know in rmarkdown::render the knitr error option is set to FALSE during rendering. How do I set it to true? These don’t seem to work: knitr::opts_chunk$set(error = TRUE) or options(knitr.error = TRUE)

MH Manuel Haqiqatkhah (@_psyguy; 10): @b_siepe @quarto_pub Thanks! My supervisors were not too happy about the time that was spent on it 😁🥲. I indeed found #QuartoPub much easier than #Rmarkdown. (+knitr short codes for including code from external R files in the qmd file makes organizing/writing MUCH smoother. Good to give it a shot!)

We are R-Ladies (@WeAreRLadies; 10): @T_Greb For fonts, the current recommended workflow is to install {systemfonts} and its dependencies, and make sure you set your graphic device to AGG (in your Global options). > To use within Rmd you need to set knitr::opts_chunk$set(dev = “ragg_png”) to get fonts to play nicely. https://t.co/U52kZAxH2L

Jason Mercer, PhD (@ecojydrology; 10): @tcarpenter216 I like to turn projects into websites via quarto and gitlab/hub. It’s how I mix code and narrative so I remember what I was thinking when I wrote the code. If I don’t want to share my narrative I can use knitr::purl to strip the qmd files into plain r scripts (e.g., for a paper).

Uwe Schnepf @SchnepfUwe@mastodon.social (@SchnepfUwe; 0/2): Seems like #RStats knitr::include_graphics() markdown function can not handle .tiff properly. Sad but true. Any hacks on how to control output size?
