Got a lot of text to add to an #rstats Shiny app but don't want to bother with a thousand html paragraph tags?

Create a markdown file, then pass it into your app with htmltools::includeMarkdown()

Future you will thank yourself. #manageablecode

{hypertext} is a DSL for building HTML in R.
it's similar to {htmltools}, but with 2 deliberate differences:
- it is *framework-agnostic*
- it has *zero dependencies*

we now have more web frameworks in R than ever before. {hypertext} works with all of them, and independently of them.

#rstats
library(hypertext) page <- tags$html( tags$head( tags$title("hypertext") ), tags$body( tags$h1("Hello"), tags$p( class = c("lead", "mb-2"), "Server-side HTML." ), tags$input( type = "text", placeholder = "enter your nickname" ), tags$button( "Click" ) ) ) render(page)

{leaflet} in R could be used if you're okay to have users access a website to look at it.

You could use {htmltools} to inject some JS into the leaflet map to capture additional data.

But you really need to talk to @coatless.bsky.social

📊 Orientation of the chart changed to make it fit on a screen
🛠️ Built entirely in R with {ggiraph} and {htmltools}
🗒️ Still working on some styling and how easy it is to select a point
✍️ Will probably end up as a blog post soon!

new year, new site, same url: www.tanyaviz.com

INs:
- YAML files to repeat formats/reduce code bloat
- continuous deployment with Netlify + GitHub
- for loops + R htmltools
- dark mode 😈

OUTs:
- copy/pasting YAML in each qmd header
- CSS in a thousand different files
- hard-coding a lot of HTML

Build on top of the full htmltools ecosystem with the latest update of my ambiorix fork:

pak::pkg_install(
"JulioCollazos64/ambiorix@feat/routing"
)

It uses the same Shiny strategy of serving the static files from where they are installed, no need to move them around.

A new version of {cascadess} is on CRAN 🎉 The package provides a `.style` pronoun and functions to easily and legibly apply styles when building {shiny} app UIs. The applied styles are now more uniform for better synergy with {bslib}. #rstats #rshiny

New CRAN package lt with initial version 0.1
#rstats
https://cran.r-project.org/package=lt
CRAN: Package lt
A lightweight grammar of tables. Build a table by declaring a JSON spec (titles, spanners, row groups, footnotes, formatters, etc.); a tiny vanilla JavaScript runtime builds the HTML table from the spec on page load. No 'sass', no 'V8', no 'htmlwidgets' — just base R and 'xfun' ('htmltools' is used only for the optional Shiny binding).

#rstats

CRAN: Package BioTooltipR
Provides lightweight helpers for adding gene and chemical tooltips to R Markdown, Quarto, Shiny, pkgdown, and other HTML outputs. The package emits small HTML spans with module-specific data attributes and attaches the browser-side 'bio-tooltips' JavaScript and CSS assets through 'htmltools'. Entity lookup and rendering are handled in the browser by 'bio-tooltips'; this package does not query biological databases from R during package checks.

Any #rspatial / #tmap folks know how to do linebreaks in legend titles in 'View' mode in {tmap} v4 and care to help a fella out? I'm probably missing something obvious but equivalent methods I used to use in v3 aren't working for me... (reprex in alt text)
library(tmap) library(htmltools) tmap_mode("view") # Single line legend, \n has no effect tm_shape(World) + tm_polygons( fill = "pop_est", fill.legend = tm_legend( title = "Long title for\npopulation estimate" ) ) # Single line legend title showing HTML tags tm_shape(World) + tm_polygons( fill = "pop_est", fill.legend = tm_legend( title = paste0( "Long title for", br("population estimate") ) ) )
