> **Katie Jolly** (@katiejolly6; 9/2): @thisisdaryn Thanks!! I use the xaringan r package to write the content, it’s great for interweaving some code and uses the r markdown syntax. To design them I use the xaringanthemer package! The code is here: https://t.co/gNo5bRADW8  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1162513996987154433)

> **Devin Judge-Lord** (@JudgeLord; 1/0): @RyanDEnos @fghjorth HT to @mikedecr for introducing me to xaringan. I use it for all of my lecture slides and course web pages, which are the same Rmd files knit to different outputs.

> **Omar Wasow** (@owasow; 1/0): @thisisdaryn Switching from Latex / Beamer to HTML / Xaringan required nontrivial adjustments but was absolutely worth it. In prior years, I never saw students interacting with pdf slides after lecture (eg during sessions to help w/problem sets) but web slides were in use constantly.

> **Chris Mainey** (@chrismainey; 1/0): @BenjaminWolfe I'd be keen on this. I think branding is particularly helpful for Rmarkdown doc, knitter to Word for other colleagues. Same goes for xaringan slides. I spend a lot of time on CSS. For word docs, it's best to use a template file, but I can't get it looking nice.

> **Emi Tanaka 🌾 @ ISI WSC 2019** (@statsgen; 1/0): @certifiedwaif Xaringan is powered by remark.js and it's a markup language (as well as slide processor) so generally easier to write directly than html. 
> I reckon the two are for different purposes though. Bootstrap has nice layouts for website for sure  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1161504110346215424)
