Alyssa Goldberg (@WireMonkey; ²⁄₀): @d4tagirl @Nujcharee @juliasilge @RLadiesNYC No, I’m always too intimidated to talk to anyone at meetups, but I saw your talk on becoming a data scientist at the first @RLadiesNYC I attended and the next one on the same day @zabormetrics demonstrated blogdown. Both were great! ↪

bookdown

Davis Vaughan (@dvaughan32; ⁶⁄₀): @CMastication Fair enough! I got what I know about xaringan through reading and rereading the sample presentation template and the github issues. Maybe someone should make a bookdown on xaringan like @hrbrmstr did for rtweet. You want to do XYZ, so do ABC https://t.co/0WWGpGFUrQ ↪

Emil Bjerglund (@emilbp; 0/1): When using #bookdown to make a PDF, is it possible to use a script (R or shell) to modify the produced .tex file before it is converted to PDF? #rstats ↪

Gavin Simpson (@ucfagls; ²⁄₀): @CMastication I don’t think there’s much point jumping on to Rpres nowadays; xaringan & other knitr/rmarkdown formats use well known HTML slide deck js so your much more likely to find help, etc ↪

Max Triba (@maxtriba; 0/0): @CMastication I spent quite a while last year figuring out a reporting system using Shiny/Rmd/Knitr (..etc), and while I’m glad it exists, I’ve recently started feeling a bit Stockholm Syndromy about it all. ↪

xaringan

Garrick Aden-Buie (@grrrck; ⁶¹⁄₁₀): @CMastication I’m working on a package that’s pretty much ready to go to make this kind of thing easier for xaringan slides. https://t.co/18e6m6KX0U ↪

Davis Vaughan (@dvaughan32; ⁶⁄₀): @CMastication Fair enough! I got what I know about xaringan through reading and rereading the sample presentation template and the github issues. Maybe someone should make a bookdown on xaringan like @hrbrmstr did for rtweet. You want to do XYZ, so do ABC https://t.co/0WWGpGFUrQ ↪

Davis Vaughan (@dvaughan32; ⁵⁄₁): @CMastication @hrbrmstr It might end up looking like something like this… https://t.co/88cEuq2N0k ↪

Garrick Aden-Buie (@grrrck; ⁴⁄₀): @CMastication I feel your pain! In my experience it’s easier in xaringan (based on remarkjs) to define and apply custom styles. But easier is relative, I still spend way to much time in chrome inspector digging around. Hoping my pkg makes discovering/changing theme less painful. ↪

Larie (@lariebyrd; ³⁄₀): @CMastication Oh man, I know. When I first attempted to use xaringan, I spent forever trial-and-erroing the css - I tried to comment a file here as an example because I don’t think I could do it again. https://t.co/FwbZBQDAPu ↪

Brandon Hurr (@bhive01; ³⁄₀): @jhollist @LauraJaneGraham OMG. I’m doing a pretty important presentation in Xaringan and I wish I had given up a few weeks ago. I’ve wasted so much time tweaking CSS and HTML to get the look I want. We’ll see how it goes this week. Maybe the most important presentation of my life. 😬 ↪

Jennifer Thompson (@jent103; ³⁄₀): @grrrck @dvaughan32 @CMastication This is excellent news. I’ve been thinking I need to try xaringan, but I like things just so (and don’t know CSS, nor do I have a particular desire to learn). That’s what’s holding me back. ↪

Gavin Simpson (@ucfagls; ²⁄₀): @CMastication I don’t think there’s much point jumping on to Rpres nowadays; xaringan & other knitr/rmarkdown formats use well known HTML slide deck js so your much more likely to find help, etc ↪

Mike Kearney📊 (@kearneymw; ²⁄₀): @annasdtc There are a couple rmarkdown templates/wrappers of HTML presentation front ends that render some nice equations–my fav is xaringan https://t.co/poj2I5gXEM. But I suppose I’m also an advocate for fewer equations in slides as well 🤷🏻‍♂️ ↪

Robert M Flight (@rmflight; ²⁄₀): This looks like an awesome package for modifying the theme of a xaringan presentation without having to know CSS.

I know I always want a larger default font, but then smaller on some slides due to space restrictions. https://t.co/gppaJBphoA ↪

Jeff Hollister (@jhollist; ²⁄₀): @LauraJaneGraham I use xaringan too. Best option in my opinion, but customizing slide layout, image sizing, changing fonts etc. is a drag! I’d love to jump between a rmd and a visual editor! ↪

JD Long (@CMastication; ²⁄₀): @grrrck this seems like a great idea. I tried xaringan almost immediately after my first rpres attempt yesterday. I could not find my ass with both hands wrt style. This seems a really good idea. ↪

Laura Graham (@LauraJaneGraham; ²⁄₀): @jhollist I made some lecture slides using xaringan this week and it was much easier to get nice looking slides. Still not interactive slide building though. ↪

Robert M Flight (@rmflight; ¹⁄₀): @bhive01 @CMastication @hrbrmstr @jhollist @xieyihui Because I think each slide is a div in the html, but that doesn’t exist until xaringan translates it, but you could have a special attribute on the table that CSS knows to align it with bottom of the slide div element. ↪

Robert M Flight (@rmflight; ¹⁄₀): @hrbrmstr @jhollist @CMastication I too often have figures generated from code, xaringan saves me so much time as I don’t have to could anything over, and recopy.

Even when I do

Plot -> SVG -> convert PNG -> embed via <img>

It’s all in code, and figure is right there. ↪

JD Long (@CMastication; ¹⁄₀): @dvaughan32 I could not find my ass with both hands with xaringan… no idea what’s going on. Dropped back to rpres and css… I still need training wheels, obviously :) ↪

Davis Vaughan (@dvaughan32; ¹⁄₀): @CMastication I saw you fork my slides on github. Did you try xaringan? Still custom css needed here and there but I found it more intuitive and a bit easier to customize. Also examples are given here with css templates you can build from https://t.co/1nTdCOBub4 ↪

Gavin Simpson (@ucfagls; 0/0): @CMastication Yeah, & you’ll find the same issue with other frameworks. IIRC w xaringan I had to find the default .css & use developer tools to find what I wanted. Easy, if you have web dev skills, arcane mumbo-jumbo otherwise ↪
