# bookdown

**Maria Gallegos** (@mopia.bsky.social; 1/1/0; 2024-12-14): I’m currently using bookdown. I’m curious why you decided to migrate given it was somewhat painful.  [&#8618;](https://bsky.app/profile/mopia.bsky.social/post/3ldao532if22p)

# knitr

**Kieran Healy** (@kjhealy.co; 5/0/0; 2024-12-14): Ha! Using Stata as a knitr engine works out of the box, and there’s also a package that extends this functionality a bit: users.ssc.wisc.edu/~hemken/Stat...  [&#8618;](https://bsky.app/profile/kjhealy.co/post/3ldbifjm6ts2y)

**Mario Angst** (@marioangst.bsky.social; 1/0/0; 2024-12-14): haha, how did I not think about that one. I was trying to think of a way to include the one other "textile" package I found ({yarn, now renamed though), but RNA sequencing was a bit too much of a stretch as a dependency... and knitr was there all along!

**Hadley Wickham** (@hadleywickham.bsky.social; 1/1/0; 2024-12-11): Nope 😞 Part of the problem is that I'm not sure which repo it belongs to either: I'm pretty sure it's one of evaluate, knitr, rmarkdown, or rlang, but I'm not 100% which? (Or is it a combination?)  [&#8618;](https://bsky.app/profile/hadleywickham.bsky.social/post/3ld2dwam2ic24)

**macka szechno** (@mackaszechno.bsky.social; 0/1/0; 2024-12-14): I see you also use library knitr for the Rmd ^^  [&#8618;](https://bsky.app/profile/mackaszechno.bsky.social/post/3ldccy4fnps2g)

**Christopher Jarvis** (@christopherjarvis.bsky.social; 52/3/6; 2024-12-07): Something I find useful from base #R is the dput command. 

When I have an object but I want to recreate it and copy into my script I chuck it into dput and it gives me the code that could be used to create it.

Quite easy to configure on Linux/macOS, can be used on Windows through WSL (probably also doable on Windows without WSL, but Windows sucks so much).  [&#8618;](https://bsky.app/profile/eboblya.bsky.social/post/3lcn5tzgv3c26)
