Does anyone have a tool they prefer for #writing printable #books, committing it in #git, and rendering it as static html site (or maybe just good navigation in #codeberg itself), and also rendering a nice #pdf with table of contents, footers, indices, etc.? Something like #mdbook, #bookdown, #pandoc, or the like? I'm flexible with the exact syntax of the docs. I'm using mdbook with mdbook-pdf at the moment. I haven't tried mdbook-latex yet. (Using something like jinja would be nice.)

I just updated the tutorial for the r.suitability.regions addon for #grassgis. I took the opportunity to change it from the excellent #bookdown to the even better #quarto format, which is what I use for my website as well. In my experience, Quarto format offers a more streamlined experience and more out-of-the-box options to tweak the page layout, placement of figures, etc.

You can find the tutorial on https://ecodiv.earth/TutorialsNotes/SuitabilityRegions/

@hsorlie I wrote tutorials and other content in both #rmarkdown using the #bookdown package and #quarto. They are very similar.

The newer Quarto took a lot of good stuff from Bookdown, but it also offers convenient extra's and i.m.h.o. a more streamlined experience. Dealing with figures and page layout is much easier, for example.

Converting from one to the other isn't that difficult, I actually just migrated one of my older tutorials from Bookdown to Quarto.

@jasonemiller I'd hashtag that #bookdown and #pretex

Call out to anyone who writes technical docs for the web (e.g., for students) -- what are the benefits of book down relative to pretex? I've written up a big doc in pretex, but its syntax is a PITA. Can I do about the same thing with book down? #bookdown #pretex

I (think I) would like to write my article based #PhD #thesis in #rstudio. The finished articles are written with #RMarkdown and #papaja, so I’m sort of used to the format, but now I need to write a compilation or synopsis. I’ve heard of the #bookdown package, but I’m also looking at finally going #quarto. Any advice? Packages, or tips and tricks? #rstats

I'd like to include alttext for figures in an online bookdown book that I'm updating, written in Rmd. Can anyone help?
I thought I could do this with syntax like this: {r weightplot-1,echo=FALSE, include=TRUE,message=FALSE, warnings=FALSE, fig.cap="mycaption",alt="myalttext",out.width="75%"} but although that runs, I can't see the alttext in the resulting html.

November 6. Number of #NaNoWriMo words written: 0. I'm great at maintaining losing streaks ✍️ 📔 😊. In my defence still finishing up coursework submissions for the data analysis course. Done so much work in #R recently for LOLs might try any NaNoWriMo scrieving using the #Bookdown package

I haven't used it personally, but I hear good things about "Learning Stats with R" and it looks like the #bookdown version uses #tidyverse
