> **Dr. Jenny Listman** (@jblistman; 3/0): @apreshill @github @hivickylai @DrMowinckels I love using @hivickylai's Introduction theme for my site in #blogdown &amp; also made one tweak. Thanks to #rstats community I found enough online tutorials to get it up &amp; running.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1073990617036939266)

> **DOCTOR Greg** (@StatsInTheWild; 3/0): @thomas_mock @apreshill @rudeboybert Alright.  I'm going to try radix.  Seems like its the happy medium between being too simple (R Markdown) and too complex (Blogdown).  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1073975655275089921)

> **Alison Hill** (@apreshill; 2/0): @StatsInTheWild @rudeboybert you can't go wrong with the academic theme for Hugo with blogdown :) I have literally built at least 20 sites in the past week prepping for my rstudio::conf workshop and that theme is so clean and well documented! I wish all were so good 😏  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1073970092843556864)

<!-- -->


> **Alison Hill** (@apreshill; 2/0): @rudeboybert @StatsInTheWild Yes! Blogdown (I think) offers the highest customization and the most individual websites (given the variety of themes/widgets/etc).

Rmd sites also only do flat directory structure vs radix/blogdown: https://t.co/5t6t50C9yD  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1073971118241808385)

> **Albert Y. Kim** (@rudeboybert; 2/0): @StatsInTheWild @apreshill @apreshill So is the decision hierarchy approximately the following?
-R Markdown Websites (easiest to setup, but no blogging features) &lt;&lt;&lt;
-Radix (with blogging, but little customization) &lt;&lt;&lt; 
-blogdown (blogging with customization, but the most setup overhead)  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1073969805013721088)

> **DOCTOR Greg** (@StatsInTheWild; 1/0): @apreshill @rudeboybert I guess it's time to stop delaying and just learn blogdown......  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1073961794874601473)

<!-- -->


> **Albert Y. Kim** (@rudeboybert; 1/0): @StatsInTheWild @apreshill I will say tho for a quick one-and-done website, R Markdown websites is a little quicker to set-up/tweak. However for longer term websites where you want more functionality/flexibility, IMO blogdown is the way to go.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1073962558514716672)

And @bcschiffler is behind the @karolinskainst bookdown thesis template (https://t.co/fg84dgl10V), and it's amazing! Figure and equation references to avoid explicit numbering saved my life during writing...  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1073886525253959681)

> **🎄❄️ Andrew Heiss, festive PhD ❄️🎄** (@andrewheiss; 2/0): @TaperaTinashe 90% of the time I use it is in knitr inline code. The other 10% is in data frames that I then print out with pander in knitr  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1073998769065263105)

> **Benjamin Wolfe** (@BenjaminWolfe; 0/0): @magsleyva Thank you! I was favoring #LyX b/c of #knitr. But come to think of it, my use case only requires text blocks + figures, not code + their output. (Non-technical audience.) I *could* use #rstats (w/ @rstudio) to generate figures + straight #LaTex (w/ @TeXstudio) to display them.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1073973981999493120)

<!-- -->


> **Benjamin Wolfe** (@BenjaminWolfe; 0/0): @hadleywickham I have not! I've always been one to use #RMarkdown on @rstudio and enjoy the results. All I want to add to my workflow is more fine-grained control of figure placement + layout. I'd seen #LaTeX w/ #LyX + #knitr recommended, but I'm new to the world of LaTeX and welcome pointers!

> **Tinashe M. Tapera** (@TaperaTinashe; 0/0): @andrewheiss My only question is, why is this function in knitr? Seems a bit out of scope from what knitr is popularly used for  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1073938721878228992)

I'm just looking to marry my information design sensibilities w/ my love for good code + version control. Still not 💯 sure I shouldn't stick w/ smth like #xaringan, and just #KISS, but I def enjoy Tufte-ish full-page spreads.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1073991482347044864)
