# knitr

> **paul cross** (@paulchafeecross; 14/0): Went down a long rabbit hole on character encoding in latex, rmd, knitr, and RefmanageR.  No solution yet.  For those 3 followers that understand this tweet you probably know my pain  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1167218008395137025)

> **Johannes Björk** (@AwfulDodger; 5/1): gam folks: do you know if there's an easy way to make nice knitr/rmarkdown tables from gam.check(m) and anova.gam(m)? There's the itsadug::gamtabs but that's summary.gam(m) @ucfagls @noamross @ericJpedersen  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1167161011511713799)

> **jon** (@jarana; 2/2): knitR + gather question! This code outputs perfectly in the console. But knitr errors when I gather a tibble in Chunk 2. Saying it can't find my newly declared Gather-key and Gather-value. https://t.co/rTczjXLJmN #rstats  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1168256982064783360)

> **Jonathan Weisberg** (@jweisber; 2/0): @bweatherson Super easy! One thing I realized about .Rmd vs plain .md is it takes the pain out of tables! I just put the contents into a data.frame and call knitr's kable() funcrtion. It draws the table for you!  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1167093415789703170)

# tinytex

> **HighlandR** (@_johnmackintosh; 1/0): @ChrisBeeley Knit to pdf fails because I don't have Latex. I have tinytex as per error message, but am being prompted to install MikTeX.

# xaringan

> **Brooke P Deak** (@Deakology; 15/1): In an #R meeting today, we went over a package called Xaringan. I chuckled a bit loudly, because it's based on Sharingan dojutsu from an anime called Naruto, and I recognised the logo.

> **Grant McDermott** (@grant_mcdermott; 7/0): @Andrew___Baker HTML is a much safer experience IMO. For backup:
> 1) Easy to host on GitHub and render directly via GH pages or https://t.co/fVQFvh7W4I.
> 2) Even if your slide engine doesn't support PDF conversion (e.g. xaringan), it's pretty easy to convert from HTML: https://t.co/mtdgDtiLDs  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1167116678485794817)

> **Stephen Vaisey** (@vaiseys; 1/0): @torkildl @grrrck This all happened in about a 2-week period. But xaringan is easier to customize than ioslides with the package I mentioned above. Totally worth a look.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1168191013824925696)

> **Sergio Oller** (@zeehio_; 1/0): @TiffanyTimbers @rstatstweet @xieyihui Good point! Based on the phonetic transcription written at the top of the Xaringan readme, yes, it sounds like Sharingan 🙂.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1167511025136099331)

> **Tiffany Timbers** (@TiffanyTimbers; 1/0): @zeehio_ @rstatstweet @xieyihui But do I pronounce Xaringan the same as Sharingan?  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1167509242225364993)

> **Alex Albright** (@AllbriteAllday; 1/0): @medewittjr @Andrew___Baker Agree that you should present from a browser to do this! I tried a xaringan presentation in May &amp; it looked v diff when I presented from a USB on a PC. (HDMI wasn’t working. 😳) Also, FYI if you save a backup PDF, it may look different (mine had diff, suboptimal sizing/spacing).  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1167026436269645824)

> **Mike Carter** (@cartermaclab; 1/0): @paulgribble @JCashaback I’ve been using Beamer for my slides for the last few years but have actually just switched to using R Markdown and the xaringan package...so far I’m liking the switch  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1166771756792799232)
