Today I've mostly been building a #QuartoPub slides template. Here are 5 things (+ a question) I spent a while figuring out - some might be obvious, some are a bit hacky.
Sharing in the hope of saving other #rstats users some time!

1/5: Need to move the footer? Find footer.css! Code snippet (CSS) highlighting the .reveal .footer positionThe output: a footer banner which reaches right to the botto
2/5 Want a logo over a dark footer? footer.css is also where you can change the z-index of your logo and its padding, if you want to make it appear over the top the footer and align it as you choose. Code snippet (CSS):  .reveal .slide-logo {   display: block;
3/5: Want to change the colour of the controls in the footer? Be careful!

I spent a while changing the colour of .fas etc, only to realise I'd made all the chalkboard colour selectors the same colour - oops!

Instead, change $link-color, and override your hyperlink formatting. $link-color: #28A569   .reveal a {   color: #11559A; }  .rev
4/5: Looking to change the text to white in your slides when the background image is dark?

Specify a background colour even the background is entirely covered by the image - the text will then automatically be changed to white! Code snippet (Markdown):  # Section title slide {background-The output: a slide with a dark background image and some wh
5/5: Want to change how bullet points are rendered? Watch out for the panel tabset headers!

Turns out, they're also a list of some sort, so if you do change your default bullet points, make sure you override that when it comes to tabsets. Code snippet (CSS):  .reveal .slide ul li {   list-style: no
Finally: Here comes the question... How do I make this into a template?

I've set it up the same way as I have for {pagedown} and {xaringan} templates, but there's no "From Template" button with Quarto... What am I missing? #QuartoPub Screenshot of the menu that appears when we click to create Screenshot of the equivalent menu for a Quarto document. The

Five quick #rstats tips I've picked up in the plots I've made for the first category of the #30DayChartChallenge 🧵👇

1. Need to plot a million points and ggplot() is taking too long but you want to stay within the tidyverse?

👉 Use 📦{scattermore} with geom_scattermore() 🥳
2.Using several subplots together to tell a story and they each have their own colour scheme?

👉 Create a function to blend in a bit of the same colour into all the others to create a more unified look Code snippet: blend <- func...
3. Struggling with squished images when using {ggimage}?

👉 Plot the data with a ratio of 1:1 and use coord_equal()
👉 If that's not an option (e.g. x is categorical), adjust the ratio of the x to y increments within coord_fixed(), e.g.: Code snippet:   coord_fixed...
