HTML and CSS for R Users - posit::conf(2023)

Presented by Albert Rapp
You can get the most out of popular R tools by combining them with easy-to-learn HTML & CSS commands.
It's easy to think that R users do not need HTML and CSS. After all, R is a language designed for data analysis, right? But the reality is that these web standards are everywhere, even in R. In fact, many great tools like {ggtext}, {gt}, {shiny}, and Quarto unlock their full potential when you know a little bit of HTML & CSS. In this talk, I will demonstrate specific examples where R users can benefit from HTML and CSS and show you how to get started with these two languages.

"A lot of tools I have never used, and I don't even know what they do" That sound exactly like me this very morning, when I was going into a .scss file for the metropolis theme in quarto. Quick background, I have been using LATEX beamer for years now, and I am a diehard fan of the metropolis theme. However looking into the option available in quarto left me perplex and I wanted to give it a bit of a tweak. I then discovered the whole world behind it; of course HTML and CSS. A bit scary, but I vividly remember the day I concluded that understanding how latex syntax works made me improve my overall programing skills. I am about to give a big try to these both (HTML and CSS) and watching such videos is more than enough to fuel the already sparkled interest. Many thanks
