One of the best things about RMarkdown is that you can use inline code to report summary and inferential statistics in your text. This means that it is impossible to make an error and if your data/values change, the text automatically updates.

Knit many reports at once using parameters in RMarkdown
I had the pleasure of attending Alison Hill’s RMarkdown workshop in Canberra on Monday and I came away with so many tips and tricks! It was brillant. Alison covered A LOT over the course of the day. I learned lots of the power of yaml, how to create parameterised reports, and how to make a package that contains customised .Rmd templates. Each of those topics are blogposts for another day, but my favourite bit was making a beautiful Academic theme blogdown site.
There has been lots of talk about blogdown on #rstats Twitter recently and people have been talking up the Hugo “Academic theme”. I want to give it a go to update my lab website, so thought it might be a good idea to pull together all the useful links I’ve seen recently into one place.

I saw an intriguing tweet this afternoon. 🧙 ♂️Live preview for R Markdown! TIL that you can have a live preview of your #rstats Markdown docs! Just use the infinite_moon_reader function from the xaringan package. It works for all single-HTML-file outputs and even comes with a pre-made RStudio Addin! — Jozef Hajnala (@jozefhajnala) January 2, 2019 When Charles was visiting for #RCurious in June, she had written her slides in xaringan and was raving about infinite moon reader.
