> **Dr. Timothée Poisot** (@tpoi; 3/0): @ipnosimmia I like Weave a lot, which is not a knitr engine, but uses much of the same syntax. It's doing caching well, and uses sandboxing to make sure nothing from the doc interacts with Main  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1288585052583067648)

> **Mikhail Popov** (@bearloga; 2/0): Posted this rather late last night around midnight so ICYMI (likely) I rewrote the built-in engine for Stan chunks to use {CmdStanR} instead of {RStan} with support for caching the executables to avoid re-compiling whenever R Markdown doc is knit/rendered: https://t.co/r7ofEySibE  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1289196660342562817)

> **Jonathan Leslie** (@jlesliedata; 1/1): TIL: Using pairs of emdashes (“---“) to create a long dash (“–”) in .Rmd files can corrupt knitting: knitr thinks that some first-level chapter headings are missing. I guess it interprets the emdash as a yaml header? Happy to be corrected if my understanding is wrong! #rstats  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1289638451495800833)

> **Nathan Rutenbeck** (@anywillowbrook; 1/0): @bearloga @mcmc_stan Just came across your blog post on this, and thought you would want to know there is an important typo - the call in the post is different than the package function - package function: register_knitr_engine() vs  in your post: register_knit_engine().

# tinytex
