Yihui Xie | One R Markdown Document, Fourteen Demos | RStudio (2020)
R Markdown is a document format based on the R language and Markdown to intermingle computing with narratives in the same document. With this simple format, you can actually do a lot of things. For example, you can generate reports dynamically (no need to cut-and-paste any results because all results can be dynamically generated from R), write papers and books, create websites, and make presentations. In this talk, I’ll use a single R Markdown document to give demos of the R packages rmarkdown,
- bookdown for authoring books (https://bookdown.org ),
- blogdown for creating websites (https://github.com/rstudio/blogdown) ,
- rticles for writing journal papers (https://github.com/rstudio/rticles) ,
- xaringan for making slides (https://github.com/yihui/xaringan) ,
- flexdashboard for generating dashboards (https://github.com/rstudio/flexdashboard) ,
- learnr for tutorials (https://github.com/rstudio/learnr) ,
- rolldown for storytelling (https://github.com/yihui/rolldown) ,
And the integration between Shiny and R Markdown. To make the best use of your time during the presentation, I recommend you to take a look at the rmarkdown website in advance: https://rmarkdown.rstudio.com
Yihui Xie | pagedown Creating beautiful PDFs with R Markdown and CSS | RStudio (2019)
The traditional way to beautiful PDFs is often through LaTeX or Word, but have you ever thought of printing a web page to PDF? Web technologies (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) are becoming more and more amazing. It is entirely possible to create high-quality PDFs through Google Chrome or Chromium now. Web pages are usually single-page documents, but they can be paginated thanks to the JavaScript library Paged.js, so that you can have elements like headers, footers, and page margins for the printing purpose. In this talk, we introduce a new R package, pagedown (https://github.com/rstudio/pagedown) , to create PDF documents based on R Markdown and Paged.js. Applications of pagedown includes, but not limited to, books, articles, posters, resumes, letters, and business cards. With the power of CSS and JavaScript, you can typeset your documents with amazing elegance (e.g., a single line of CSS, “tr:nth-child(even) { background: #eee; }”, will give you a striped table, and “border-radius: 50%;” gives you a circular element) and power (e.g., HTML Widgets).
