Matt Crump (@MattCrump_; 43⁄9): Developing a free statistics for undergrads in psychology textbook this summer. https://t.co/uQppEHK6eh Will update this tweet as we progress. Textbook written in #Rmarkdown, using #bookdown. Will publish as a web-book, with integrated #shiny apps. #ATextbookIsEatingMySummerBreak ↪
Claus Wilke (@ClausWilke; 7⁄0): @tjmahr @ellis2013nz @MilesMcBain @kara_woo Exactly. Also, I’ve got 20+ years of LaTeX experience, have published well over 100 papers written in it, and use it daily. Yet, I’d never have started a book project on #dataviz without bookdown. Managing all the visual assets manually would be way too painful. ↪
Peter Ellis (@ellis2013nz; 4⁄0): @MilesMcBain @kara_woo @ClausWilke The irritating thing is, there is definitely plenty of room for discussion about whether bookdown is a helpful addition to “whatever it takes” given the existence of LaTeX, Illustrator/InDesign etc.; but why is it necessary to add in the “real scientists” slur? ↪

David Hood (@Thoughtfulnz; 0/0): @ellis2013nz @MilesMcBain @kara_woo @ClausWilke Coming from teaching Illustrator, Indesign and Rmarkdown, bookdown is extremely good at multiple outputs. Yes, you can make a more aesthetically nice book in InDesign supported by Illustrator, but for multiple output mediums & if you work in R anyway, it is not just about print ↪
knitr
Omar Wasow (@owasow; 2⁄0): @kjhealy @hadleywickham @PrincetonUPress In the weeds question about Rmd vs Rnw: Years ago Yihui suggested markdown was better for html output & latex for pages. As Rmd can incorporate latex, I wonder if you think that distinction is now moot. I ask mainly because I puzzle whether to keep teaching Sweave+Latex+knitr+R. ↪
Kieran Healy (@kjhealy; 1⁄0): @ellis2013nz @PrincetonUPress In this case, LaTeX produced from Rmd files via knitr. The typesetter is working in LaTeX. ↪
Kieran Healy (@kjhealy; 1⁄0): @owasow @hadleywickham @PrincetonUPress I think it’s moot. In the pipeline I use, the same Rmd goes to both HTML and LaTeX/PDF via knitr & pandoc. ↪
Adam Gruer (@AdamGruer; 1⁄0): @cantabile @MilesMcBain @rstudio IN .Rmd create a chunk with ```{quack_quack} put quack_quack and R code in there. The code won’t run because knitr does knot have a quack_quack engine but wherever you use the supported key words ( anything ending in _dataset, column_name or quack_quack) you’ll ↪
