# knitr

> **Mine CetinkayaRundel** (@minebocek; 128/4): Sometimes I start a data analysis in an #rstats script then realise I really should have started analysing and writing in an Rmd. It's at these times that I wish there was a knitr::hurl() that would take an R script, convert to Rmd, and vomit some words in between chunks.

> **Bryan Shalloway** (@brshallo; 4/0): @minebocek The next step would be taking the documentation, functions etc. from that ever growing Rmd and converting it into a package.  I believe the syntax is:

> **Martin Johnsson** (@mrtnj; 3/0): Update on RStudio: I'm getting along better with the editor and console. There are too many working directories (RStudio, project, R session, knitr) to keep track of. Parts of editor and terminal lock up when R is busy. Current standing: RStudio vs ESS 1 - 1.

> **Sharla Gelfand** (@sharlagelfand; 1/0): @grrrck @thomas_mock very lucky for me the issue maybe is caused by loading knitr/kableExtra (still haven't 100% isolated) then loading them again, and the shiny app didn't actually need to be loading them, so i got lucky and just removing them worked. i did spend some time looking into callr though  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1258776969422024704)

# tinytex

> **Abdul Majed** (@1littlecoder; 4/1): When I first tried to enable Rmd to PDF with #rstats I waited ⌚ installing Tex and GBs of data too. Even then some other component was missing and it was a mess. A big 🙏🏽 to @xieyihui for making {tinytex} that does that it says! Sharing it as a video!

> **Andrew Heiss** (@andrewheiss; 181/28): *Incredibly* pleased with how well xaringan works for teaching code-heavy things like #rstats and ggplot. I used to take so many screenshots of code and incremental plots—now it all just knits by itself!

> **Garrick** (@grrrck; 26/2): Not only that, but with theme_xaringan(), you can style your {ggplot2} plots to match your slides!

> ✨theme_xaringan() automatically matches your slide's fonts and colors and updates geom defaults, too!
