> **Emily Riederer** (@EmilyRiederer; 6/0): For ex, spent some time last year in the {knitr} repo and it was so fun and educational to peak under the hood and has been very helpful since in debugging and hacking around the edges.

> **Joshua Shapiro** (@jashapiro; 3/0): I may or may not have spent the last couple hours diving into the bowels of knitr to implement a thing that may already exist somewhere and is probably better done done some other way, but I had fun. Some cleanup and documentation and I’ll probably post a draft tomorrow.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1266176496198131713)

> **Jon Henner** (@jmhenner; 3/0): @AthenaNeuro It lets you embed your coding workflow and results in an html, pdf, or word doc to share with the rest of the team. It lets you create elegant and reproducible documents which is important if you're a contracted statistician like I am in several cases.

I haven't messed with gt yet, but I imagine it's good, too.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1267310541346754560)

> **bruce.moran** (@bruler0111; 1/0): @mgalactus @tangming2005 +1 Jupyter notebooks, great for interactive work, and can be used in a workflow setting as per Marco's method once finalised. Also GitHub renders pushed notebooks, which works for viewing plots and code together. And finally, can be exported to Rmd and knitr'd into PDF/html/etc.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1266483606228283394)

> **Adam H. Sparks** (@adamhsparks; 1/0): @bearloga I just realised, RStudio still uses Sweave in the tools menu here. I wonder how many folks have ever even used Sweave with the advent of Knitr. I know I've not written a new file in years. I still have some old .Rnw files from around 2009-2010 laying around though.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1265875157974790145)

> **Brandon M. Lind** (@iowensis; 1/0): @scisus You could weigh frustration with knitr against time setting up an R kernel in jupyter (shouldn't be long). I really like the ease of delineating cells for execution in jupyter vs R markdown-like things eg the \`\`\` wrapper . https://t.co/RyumbDFbqM  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1265840803684904960)

# tinytex

> **Mikhail Popov** (@bearloga; 160/25): RStudio 1.3 (https://t.co/CGeuW3FHWo) includes an option to use {tinytex} (https://t.co/5IODOYty5g) for compiling .tex files, which is great because it will automatically install missing TeX packages when you click the "Compile PDF" button. https://t.co/sssRxOacYk  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1265739826424434688)
