If you have (or are thinking about) moving away from GitHub, GitLab is one alternative. If you're a regular #QuartoPub or #RStats user, you might find it hard to find information about how those work with #GitLab.

So here's a blog post showing you a few different ways to deploy Quarto documents with GitLab Pages!

Used my last week to build a minimal website to show my current #art works. It is built using #RStats and #QuartoPub avoiding any google etc. requests.

This is my most recent work. The popacorn is stamped using an "O", the acorns with a stamp "organize":

Here's the finished version of this #TidyTuesday chart!

📊 Sunburst chart made with #ggplot2 in #RStats
✋ Dropdown interaction added with {ggiraph} with a few little JavaScript helpers
📚 Combined with #QuartoPub

Yes, you can make interactives in R without requiring Shiny!

#DataViz

One of my recent side projects has been building a little #QuartoPub dashboard to track patterns in ScotRail delays and cancellations. ScotRail *do* currently publish this data, in the form of an often hard to find, inaccessible PDF with a different file for every single day 😭

So I set up an #RStats script to scrape all the data regularly, and stuck it in a Quarto dashboard to see how things are changing over time! 📊

Anyone publishing a Quarto blog with Codeberg Pages? I'm new to this automation stuff, and can't decide between WebHooks, Forgejo Actions, and WoodPecker CI. If I use actions or WoodPecker, it would be just for "quarto render"; any R code output is frozen and will be run on my own computer. I have a custom domain.

#QuartoPub #CodebergPages #GitPages #ForgejoActions #WoodPeckerCI

Prefix plot filenames with figure number in knitr/ #QuartoPub

```
knitr::opts_hooks$set(label = function(options) {
this_label <- knitr::opts_current$get("label")
if (!startsWith(this_label, "fig")) {
return(options)
}

all_chunks <- knitr::all_labels(startsWith(label, "fig"))
fig_num <- which(all_chunks == this_label)
n <- formatC(fig_num, width = 3, flag = "0")
new_path <- paste0(options$fig.path, n, "_")

options$fig.path <- new_path
return(options)
})
```

#RStats

Back on a train this morning, this time on my way to Osnabrück to give a workshop on literate programming and #Quarto at the STaPs conference (Sprachwissenschaftliche Tagung für Promotionsstudierende) tomorrow afternoon. If you're in or close to Osnabrück and want to join last minute, get in touch with me, I'm sure we can make that possible! https://staps.stuts.eu/

Seriously, how would one submit the LaTex output of creating a manuscript that uses a #QuartoPub theme / extra format for a journal?

Is everything except figures now included in the "*.tex file", and anyone else should be able to "compile" it without using `quarto`?

I've never done a LaTex journal submission before ....
