Hadley Wickham (@hadleywickham; 752203): dbplyr 1.4.0 out now: https://t.co/fv5yzGeufG. Lots of improvements to SQL generation, including better support for stringr and lubridate functions #rstats

We are R-Ladies (@WeAreRLadies; 33972): Today is #rmarkdown day. My #knitr trick is read_chunk. I separate my #rstats scripts from the md document for a large proj. Bc I usually write R code first and then document the analysis. read_chunk reads the external R chunks into the md. It forces you to name the chunk. https://t.co/JuvNW9Lxe6

blogdown

We are R-Ladies (@WeAreRLadies; 755): I highly recommend learning #RMarkdown because there’s so many things you can do with it! I have used #blogdown to make several websites and found it very easy to get a site up and running!

We are R-Ladies (@WeAreRLadies; 295): Web deployment with travis ci for an #rstats project is just as easy as 3 steps if you’re using the tic 📦 by @krlmlr : > 1️⃣usethis::use_travis() 2️⃣tic::use_tic() 3️⃣a third step? 🤔 > It works like a charm for building a pkgdown/bookdown/blogdown site. ➡️https://t.co/itqm80DqVN

Dr Chris Marshall (@Dr_C_Marshall; 209): In between working on projects, I’ve built a website in R today (https://t.co/JnaX4AnTBM) using @dsquintana’s really helpful tutorial from a while ago on the blogdown package. Thanks, Dan! #Rstats

Yihui Xie (@xieyihui; 60): @Chucheria @kierisi Done now via https://t.co/HhR0gdtBPb

We are R-Ladies (@WeAreRLadies; 51): Pretty much all you have to do is find a #hugo theme that suits your fancy, run a function call to build the site in your console (blogdown::new_site(theme = “”) and you’re ready to customize your site!

Jessica Streeter (@phillynerd; 50): And thanks to @JonTheGeek for his guide, and everyone who suggested the wonderful guide by @apreshill as well as the blogdown book. It still took a billion tries, hours and hours of trying and googling errors, and a few more grey hairs, but I made it! 22 https://t.co/n0g8n0ZJ24

Sébastien Rochette (@StatnMap; 41): This is a good theme for #rstats #blogdown users. https://t.co/sw700oa9Ml

Craig Hamilton (@craigfots; 31): I recently taught myself how to create websites in #blogdown and now have a fancy new website for all of my personal and professional projects and work - https://t.co/o9obBVl8cb. #rstats

Benjamin Wolfe (@BenjaminWolfe; 30): @kearneymw @thomas_mock @JosephineLukito Just in time! I was just about to start the #blogdown site I’ve been meaning to get to for a quarter. 🤣 https://t.co/mKdAElGvml

Mike Kearney📊 (@kearneymw; 30): @BenjaminWolfe @thomas_mock @JosephineLukito I started with “hugo-nuo” https://t.co/E5NBzPgTem (which you can totally use with blogdown::new_site(theme = "laozhu/hugo-nuo")) and I’ve modified various odds and ends from there https://t.co/ZUTpE4btUs

Benjamin Wolfe (@BenjaminWolfe; 20): @kearneymw @thomas_mock @JosephineLukito No seriously though is it a Hugo / #blogdown template? Or based on one?

Yihui Xie (@xieyihui; 20): @randomjohn @oscar_b123 I guess you meant this: https://t.co/a762ut1xTs :)

Morgs Brew (@morgsbrew; 11): Is it possible to link a @github repository owned by User A, into a #Blogdown @xieyihui site with its own repository also owned by User A? Like its own project that is highlighted on the Blogdown site hosted by Netlify. #rstats

Ming Tang (@tangming2005; 10): How to embed a tweet in blogdown showing the profile pic and the thread? https://t.co/0fZZO4V1Uq this did not work for me.

We are R-Ladies (@WeAreRLadies; 10): If you have previously installed the #blogdown package, you can also build a new site when you create a new project in #rstudio.

John Grewar (@jdata_rsa; 10): Saved by #blogdown (https://t.co/mxcydWt6nB) thanks @xieyihui for a great product, was struggling with getting the blog component of my site working and this sorted me out! still busy converting old posts into #rmarkdown format but on my way https://t.co/l2Be7N15mk

John Cassil (@johncassil; 0/1): #rstats #blogdown question! When I post a link to this blogdown post on my website ( https://t.co/pzQSTuA8oJ ) I’d like it to show a preview of the post, not some css. How do I do this? What are the #meta description search terms I should be looking for? Thanks! @xieyihui ? https://t.co/vKWjxBwpWb

Riccardo Fusaroli (@fusaroli; 91): @rlmcelreath Btw, @SolomonKurz provides an excellent compendium covering all examples from a tidy +brms approach (https://t.co/TjarKQ0x6X). Highly recommended. @SolomonKurz you rock!

Solomon Kurz (@SolomonKurz; 90): Looks like I finally have a robust solution to the #bookdown + PDF output + complicated LaTeX formula conundrum. The PDF version should be out in a week. In the meantime, let be known @SMasschelein is a boss.

Dan S. Reznik 🔎 (@dreznik; 62): a brazilian portuguese translation of #r4ds #rstats has showed up in hardcopy format on the internet and on some university bookstores in brazil. questions: (1) is this legit in terms of copyright, and (2) where is the free web-accessible bookdown version of it??? @hadleywickham https://t.co/3JzErDmeX1

Irene (@irenecrisologo; 31): Attempting to fill the post-submission void by playing around with @rstudio’s RMarkdown+Bookdown

Sharla Gelfand (@sharlagelfand; 30): @swmpkim @alexpghayes right?! if you want to apply a lot of styling, you can put it in a separate file (e.g. preamble.tex) and then put > output: bookdown::pdf_document2: includes: in_header: preamble.tex > in your yaml instead > (replace pdf_document2 with whatever pdf output you’re using)

Sean Kross (@seankross; 30): @farbandish Do you know about yolo = true? https://t.co/PBeTz4ESc3

Oleksiy Anokhin (@OleksiyAnokhin; 22): #rstats folks, is it possible to implement shiny elements (not an app) into a bookdown document? In the same way as just a RMarkdown doc. I want to have interactive elements in my book, if possible, similar to “runtime: shiny”

Antonello Pareto 🇪🇺 (@AntoViral; 21): Repetita iuvant > https://t.co/mwkYIUPLgf > #rstats #dataviz

Jenine K Harris (@jenineharris; 13): Any @RLadiesGlobal or #rstats or @rstudio peeps out there who know how to change one word of text in a paragraph to a different font in #rmarkdown? (output is html gitbook w bookdown) ….<span style=“font-family: monospace;”>word</span> just makes a gray background behind word🙃

Ben Anderson (@dataknut; 11): srsly, #rstats packages #bookdown & @rOpenSci’s #drake have significantly (p < 0.01) improved my quality of work life. Disbenefit: #drake almost eradicates data-wait tea-breaks & cake-stops.

Christopher Peters (@statwonk; 10): @haziq_azizi I just took a look and it sure does! https://t.co/VGHgevI8LL > If we use a Bayesian method, we can summarize the posterior distribution rather than rely on tests for params. The book “Statistical Rethinking” does this well. https://t.co/Vw21TgMxf6 > cc @AllenDowney @SolomonKurz

Chris Holdgraf (@choldgraf; 10): @gvwilson Two quick thoughts: I wonder if @SylvainCorlay and the @QuantStack team have thought about diagrams with widgets. Also, couldn’t you effectively split a notebook into multiple pieces with bookdown? (or jupyter-book for that matter)

Joel Gombin (@joelgombin; 10): @JohanRicher @MartinT45227111 @ArmelleGilliard https://t.co/1oCv3HJJEH (reprend le css de gitbook mais avec un moteur différent under the hood)

Alistair Bailey (@alistair604; 10): @jessenleon I favour jabref, and use it with bookdown in R. https://t.co/95M8EMNFMq

knitr

We are R-Ladies (@WeAreRLadies; 8419): Another #knitr trick is purl(): extracting all the #rstats chunks from a markdown document to a separate R file, simply do purl("example.Rmd"). It is useful when you want to share R code instead of the Rmd. It does the opposite to read_chunk().

Jason Mercer (@ecojydrology; 92): I’m goofing around with making a website for a paper I’m working on, as a way to open up my science to the public. Rmarkdown, knitr, and GitHub are just amazing resources for this kind of thing. Pretty stoked on the #rstats community. Thanks @xieyihui, @rstudio, and @github!

Tormod Bøe (@tormodboe; 72): The combo: dev. update of texreg (@PhilipLeifeld), knitr::kable (@xieyihui), and kableExtra (@haozhu233 ) closes the case for making any tables and exporting them to any format you wish from rmarkdown - even regressions on imputed data! Thanks to all developers! #Rstats

Ben Rubin (@Ben_D_Rubin; 54): A whole bunch of cool tricks here that I didn’t know including here, ggforce, and read_chunk! > Selfishly retweeting so I can easily find this again when I need it ;) > #rstats #rmarkdown #knitr https://t.co/fxT5OLNGka

JD Long (@CMastication; 20): @michael_chirico @mdsumner The warnings=F is just what rmarkdown (or knitr?) use.

Louise Ryan (@LouiseMarieRyan; 20): @statsgen Well said Emi! Proud to say I am a massive knitr fan …. does that count for #2?

Henrik Bengtsson (@henrikbengtsson; 13): Is it possible (hack?) to use #rstats knitr/rmarkdown to use a single persistent session for the bash engine such that ‘ABC’ is set also in the 2nd chunk: >

export ABC=42
echo "ABC=$ABC"

(sorry if this is in a FAQ somewhere)

David Diviny (@daviddiviny; 10): Great trick! I think this is the most underrated feature of #rmarkdown and #knitr. https://t.co/rUXUaZDaXB

ぱるユキ@Adelheid (@p_2vl; 10): knitrって読めねぇ

boB 🇷udis (@hrbrmstr; 10): @henrikbengtsson https://t.co/gkkqwJfR0W is how {reticulate} does that for Python. > My suggestion is more of a “project” than a “hack” tho.

boB 🇷udis (@hrbrmstr; 10): @henrikbengtsson I haven’t needed to do it but if you register your own knitr engine for a given interpreter you can do something like spawn a REPL and then feed the lines to the active REPL. https://t.co/lonvrf6NEG does not do that but it has boilerplate for making a knitr engine.

Frank Harrell (@f2harrell; 10): @aqsalose 2nd edition has >100 new references, new case studies, new chapter on ordinal regression for continuous Y, and all the code runs in R. A good deal of code has changed, and the entire book is reproducible (written using R+knitr+LaTeX).

Phil Neff (@cascadiasolid; 10): The goal of this, as @vm_wylbur says, is to avoid having to copy-paste data analysis outputs into a written report (also, accuracy and reproducibility). #pweave worked pretty well, though it’s not quite as slick as #sweave and #knitr in R.

F Rodriguez-Sanchez (@frod_san; 10): @TimSalabim3 mmm works for me (using this example https://t.co/gphaoSTLva with knitr 1.22 and rmarkdown 1.12). But I get pure markdown image links ![]() always, not <img …>

Ken Butler (@KenButler12; 0/1): today I learned: with a large Rmd document to turn into a Beamer presentation, use lualatex, specified in yaml header as shown, to avoid running into out-of-memory errors. #rstats #knitr https://t.co/4wKdomS5xU

John Pickering (@kiwiskiNZ; 0/1): decrypt_file() from the encrypt package opens a dialogue box to enter a private key to decrypt a file. However, I can’t get this to run in a code chunk in #rstudio using #knitr. Any ideas #rstats peoples?

志乃田たぐる (@shinoda_taguru; 0/1): iPad用のmarkdownスライドアプリ無さげだから、対応策を検討中。https://t.co/rtdUIgrIJ1に{revealjs}をインストールして、rmdファイルをuploadして、knitr したらふつーにスライドになった。https://t.co/rtdUIgrIJ1は日本語入力できないのね。今度は、良さげなエディタアプリを探さないとね。 https://t.co/w31U2ublFR

John Hill (@JohnHill; 21): @BrendanTHalpin @pjakma @simongrund89 markdown + pandoc (via beamer) or Rmarkdowm + xaringan are also quite efficient.

Chris Umphlett (@chrisumphlett; 20): I learned a lot of new stuff. S/o to the following who inspired, enabled or taught: @xieyihui and the #xaringan package, @EvaMaeRey’s #ggplot2 flipbook, @Spotify, @lastfm, @CMastication (easy way to hide API key), J. Kim’s #lastfmr package #womenshistorymonth
