Whether I’ll actually complete the conversion is another story. Upside blogdown It is destiny: no-one is ever completely happy with their blog. This site was built five years ago1 with {blogdown}, which lets you write R Markdown files and have them knitted into a blog. I ignored the newer {distill} package2, but Quarto may be worth the switch. https://www.rostrum.blog/2023/03/16/webr-quarto/ Thu, 16 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.rostrum.blog/2023/03/16/webr-quarto/ tl;dr WebR lets you run R in the browser(!). Now you can make WebR chunks in Quarto that render to editable, executable blocks(!). Sliding into tedium I wrote recently a simple introduction to how R parses code. I provided a function that I said the reader could go away and run themselves. As in… copy-paste it into an instance of R running on their machine. Gross. Wouldn’t it be better if people could just tinker with the code right there in the post? https://www.rostrum.blog/2022/09/07/earl22/ Wed, 07 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.rostrum.blog/2022/09/07/earl22/ Please don’t sue me for my fan art, Microsoft. tl;dr I presented some slides at the EARL 2022 conference about {a11ytables}: an R package that helps automate the production of reproducible and accessible spreadsheets, with a focus on publication of government statistics. Counting sheets The UK government publishes a lot of spreadsheets that contain statistical tables. Compared to each other—and to themselves over time—these files are often: inconsistent in structure (e. https://www.rostrum.blog/2022/08/11/quartostamp-snorkel/ Thu, 11 Aug 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.rostrum.blog/2022/08/11/quartostamp-snorkel/ tl;dr I made a couple of packages that contain RStudio Addins: {quartostamp} inserts little divs and classes into your Quarto documents, while {snorkel} inserts Rd tags into your {roxygen2} function documentation. Al Addin RStudio Addins let you access R functions interactively at the click of a button (or with a keyboard shortcut, or via the RStudio command palette). I particularly like them for easy sharing of insertable pre-written code.
