[apreshill]

• make sure participants got link to setup instructions

• some folks not familiar with R Markdown templates

• emphasize gitter chat channel! https://gitter.im/arm-austin/Lobby

• make "new window" the default for links

  • https://yihui.name/en/2018/09/target-blank/

• add about margins to xaringan templates?

• add bakeoff package to package installs http://arm.rbind.io/prework/packages/

• remotes::install_github("armcompanion") - needs rstudio-education http://arm.rbind.io/prework/packages/

• Reminder - add include_url to slide deck, people 😍 it

• typo in template - n in ggplot should be nn (or change variable name)

• fix images in flexdashboard level 2, 3 slides http://arm.rbind.io/slides/flexdashboard.html#1

• xaringan- add how to change background-color, plus inverse class!

• for any external apps to be used in class, make sure to hook up with commercial shinyapps.io for goodness sake

• add links to Jiena's learnr stuff http://arm.rbind.io/days/day1/learnr/

• gt had to be built from sources on the cloud setup (worth installing for xaringan?)

• edit template name for flexdashboard template in armcompanion package

• update xaringan slides to show incremental in same line 😮

• see issue knitr::include_graphics() may not be the best way to control image size in xarnigan #25 re resizing images with knitr code chunk options should be recommended way within xaringan

• clarify in slides that xaringan::infinite_moon_reader only works for HTML output (try knitr::knit_watch)
