**Liam** (@crowdatasci.bsky.social; 0/1/0; 2024-12-05): can't get closeread-html and quarto to work on my blogdown hugo blog hosted on netlify. I have 1 quarto article working with hugo but can't get closeread to work. Is it time to switch everything over to quarto?

**ODA Hajime** (@odahajime.bsky.social; 3/1/0; 2024-12-08): markdownに対してほしいオプションとしては、
画像の配置やサイズ処理（HTMLで書きたくない）
文献引用関連
脚注処理ができるとうれしい
複数ページに対する目次生成
で、こういう機能があるものとして、Rmarkdown→bookdownは便利そうだなと思った。
bookdown.org/yihui/bookdo...
www.jaysong.net/RBook/
のようにHTML出力してWebブックも作れるし、PDFファイルとして配ることもできる。  [&#8618;](https://bsky.app/profile/odahajime.bsky.social/post/3lcrl2ioslc27)

**Max kuhn** (@topepo.bsky.social; 1/0/0; 2024-12-08): I read that damn document when I was making odfWeave. APIs with names like ‘FornatLikeWord95’. Then draw the 🦉

The OSF docs were much better. 

Thankfully knitr came along and I could orphan odfWeave.  [&#8618;](https://bsky.app/profile/topepo.bsky.social/post/3lcscqrimos2p)

Blue banded bees are buzz pollinators, vibrating loudly to loosen pollen. They’re a loud but welcome friend in any garden

Hope it helps other learners as well!

**Jeremy Allen** (@jeremy-data.bsky.social; 34/2/7; 2024-12-01): Working in your editor and want a quick peek at rstats bluesky?

Here is the #rstats code I mentioned yesterday. This uses the bskyr 📦, retrieves the latest rstats posts from bluesky, ranks by likes, constructs a URL, and prints them to your console

**Євген Єбобленко** (@eboblya.bsky.social; 2/1/0; 2024-12-06): We rely a lot on Rmarkdown/Quarto + pandoc + tinytex setup. 
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)
