Nicola RennieI've written a short blog post about the process of switching from Hugo to Quarto, some of the tricky things, and advice for those thinking about doing the same!

Nicola RennieI've (finally!!) finished porting my website over to Quarto: <a href="https://nrennie.rbind.io/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://nrennie.rbind.io/</a>It looks much the same as the previous Hugo site and I've tried to make sure nothing is broken 🤞 In an ideal world you won't notice any difference!(But hopefully it's easier for me to maintain in the background)<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/QuartoPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuartoPub</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/RStats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RStats</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Python</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/DataViz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataViz</a>

Elen Le Foll 🇫🇷 🇬🇧 🇩🇪Bernard Angele is back at the lectern <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/WoReLa1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WoReLa1</a> with their own talk this time on "Low sampling rate is not an obstacle to making reading research more accessible".

Less hilariously, it turns out that, up until recently, the vast majority of eyetracking studies were carried out in the US and West Europe on major European languages. Now studies on Chinese in China are changing the picture, but still eyetracking reading studies are still limited to very few languages.* Also, it turns out that using <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/QuartoPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuartoPub</a> to host Quarto slides is not only useful to share slides with the audience and on social media, but also to easily switch computer when the presenter's laptop can no longer connect with the temperamental projector.

It sucks - give it the 31st of March and it doesn't go back to February.

Ken Butler has movedBeen exploring <a href="https://mastodon.cloud/tags/codeberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#codeberg</a> and codeberg pages today (it's a holiday here). It's a lot like github and the command line stuff works the same way, but using git@codeberg.org:stuff (for SSH). I made a <a href="https://mastodon.cloud/tags/QuartoPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuartoPub</a> website and got it working on codeberg pages. The idea is that you have a branch called "pages" that the publishable static website lives on. Hence quarto publish doesn't work, but keeping main and pages in sync does seem to...

Øyvind Bugge SolheimHow do you find <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/quarto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quarto</a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/QuartoPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuartoPub</a> websites? I've been moving my homepage from <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/distill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#distill</a> and find the constant and slow rendering quite frustrating. Am I doing it wrong? I've used the freeze option but it's still much slower than distill. I've moved to <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Quarto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Quarto</a> for other types of documents but I'm not sure I like the implementation for websites. <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rstats</a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/posit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#posit</a>

Ken Butler has movedIn <a href="https://mastodon.cloud/tags/rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rstats</a>, I am writing a <a href="https://mastodon.cloud/tags/QuartoPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuartoPub</a> document that needs to use the conflicted package (because I have loaded MASS and need to use the dplyr filter and select). The first time, I didn't catch these conflicts, and I got the errorError in `!continue`: ! invalid argument typewhich made zero sense to me, but it was solved by adding a line likeconflicts_prefer(dplyr::filter)to my quarto document. It would be good to have a more helpful error message. I used divide-and-conquer to solve this.

Ken Butler has movedit may just be me, but I find the "standard" way of generating cross-referenceable figures, tables, and code listings in <a href="https://mastodon.cloud/tags/QuartoPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuartoPub</a> to be overly constraining.

Ken Butler has movedhaving started to write an exam using these (where everything is a figure), my recommendation is for everyone learning cross-references in <a href="https://mastodon.cloud/tags/QuartoPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuartoPub</a> to start with this way:- three colons, a space, and then in curly brackets, a label for the cross-reference beginning with <a href="https://mastodon.cloud/tags/fig" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fig</a> if you want it to be a Figure and <a href="https://mastodon.cloud/tags/tab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tab</a> if you want it to be a table. - any code and output or whatever you like - a line of text that will be the caption - three more colons@fig-xxx or @tab-xxx refers to it.

For those following along, you can do::: {<a href="https://mastodon.cloud/tags/fig" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fig</a>-graph}```{r} ggplot(mtcars, aes(x = wt, y = mpg)) + geom_point() ```A scatterplot:::(with as many code chunks as you like)....
