We're pleased to have Yihui Xie as our special guest at the TeX Hour tomorrow (Thursday 20 May, 7:00 to 8:00pm). Yihui is a major contributor to R Markdown and the associated TinyTeX.

R is a popular statistics and data analysis programming language. It uses R Markdown as a single source for many outputs, from HTML and Beamer slides through to interactive notebooks and LaTeX typeset mathematics. We can learn a lot from R Markdown.

Note that we start at 7:00pm. The room will be open at 6:30pm as usual, but Yihui won't be arriving until after 7:00pm. Arrive at 7:00 yourself if you wish. The UK time now is https://time.is/UK.

The zoom details are:

Advance notice: Next week we'll look at how git can help us improve CTAN, TeXLive and reproducibility of documents.
