# blogdown

> **MiaoSun** (@Miao_the_Sun; 10/3): #Officiallyexist Finally launched my first website using R #blogdown and #hugo #Academic theme, deployed by #netlify. Thanks for all the inspiration and good tutorials, from @UFCarpentries @xieyihui @ethanwhite. Still more to improve, e.g., typo 😂👉: https://t.co/BIpNr1bGRj https://t.co/CuGA4sWhlf  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1073618759615684610)

> **Dr Lowri E. Evans** (@L0wriEvans; 2/2): Inspired by @Plantdirt to recreate my own website in R using the 'blogdown' package (whilst watching Bridget Jones' Diary of course 😅). I know how to spend a worthwhile Friday night, haha! #ecrchat #phdchat #rchat  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1073697644088827904)

> **R-Ladies Lausanne** (@RLadiesLausanne; 3/1): At our last #RLadiesLausanne meetup on Monday we had @ViRezzonico presenting a textbook case on using knitr for repetitive tasks - sending invoices 📩! Thank you Vicky for passing by and staying for a chat, coffee and biscuits! 💜

Reproducibility of analyses was the aim there

See this one on UK voter traits from 2015 (Knitr code on GitHub, data on figshare)

> **Michael Harhay** (@Michael_Harhay; 1/0): @f_g_zampieri @hqgu @Stata Thanks for sharing this @f_g_zampieri! I had not seen these packages. Been struggling with analysis to paper process in R. Tried to learn knitr over the past year but it’s slow going and I don’t like markdown. These are welcome substitutes!  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1073770361781739521)

> **Forest Gregg** (@forestgregg; 1/0): @eads - bad story for modules (for example, by default importing a lib puts it all into the global namespace)
- high overhead for creating libraries
- string processing is a pain
- generally, think python is nicer language, but there was some super tooling like ESS and knitr  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1073722409637818377)

> **Forest Gregg** (@forestgregg; 1/0): the thing I miss the most about R is knitr.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1073719744182800384)

> **Benjamin Wolfe** (@BenjaminWolfe; 1/0): Has anybody ever tried using #LyX and #LaTeX / #MiKTeX / #TeXLive on Windows portably, or otherwise without admin privileges? Might be a long shot to ask on Twitter… want to run it with #knitr and #rstats.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1073683014473912322)

> **Andy G.** (@originalGandy; 0/0): #rstats help!! Upgraded rstudio and knitr a couple months back and when now knitting to html i get this weird gray background around the title and lose formatting from kableExtra. How can i fix it (without manipulating .css)? Thanks much for any help. https://t.co/8obG6RNWJt  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1073703817424732160)

> **Gjalt-Jorn Peters** (@matherion; 0/0): @Heinonmatti @EmorieBeck @lisadebruine Well, if you have some html, drop a line. It does sound like these may be bugs in Rmarkdown or knitr though... In which case @EmorieBeck's suggestion of downgrading might be the only solution for now.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1073471562169368577)
