Hi Stephen, yasnippet allows you to insert modifiable yaml templates. You can define 'fields' that you want to modify, along with straight text that will be inserted verbatim. In my case, I enter the string 'yaml', hit the tab key, and the template is inserted. The cursor starts in the title

Tyler, Happy you are lending a hand. I alternate between notebook and plain htmil output. this is my typical: --- title: "Title" author: "Author" date: "2023-10-08" output: # html_document: # df_print: kable # mathjax: C:/emacs/MathJax.js html_notebook: df_print: kable

Hi Stephen, Like Manuel, I also do my Rmd editing in Emacs, with ESS and polymode to handle most things, and a yasnippet to insert my YAML section. This covers my needs, but I'm not a very sophisticated user of YAML. What support would you like to see? Perhaps there are features you aren't

Hi Stephen, I am not part of ESS team but I'm wondering what kind of problems you have with Rmd files, maybe we can give you some advices. I do all my Rmd and Qmd files in Emacs without any problem. In my experience it works very well, even better than org-mode babel for R. For the yaml part I

Hello, I would like to request better support of Rmd, but that is not ESS really. I apologize if this is considered too much off topic.  Do you know who can improve rmarkdown? Currently there is zero support for the meta/yaml section at the beginning, which makes it inconvenient to the point I am

Hi Gang: Resurrecting this old thread from 09/2021� For the last few years, the lack of an ESS release has been decried. And, deservedly so. Now, I�m happy to report that we intend to create a new release roughly by XMAS. The reason that I am telling all of you this: we are very interested in

Hi Toby: Perhaps it depends on whether they are undergrad or grad students. If you are a grad student, then the university owns your copyright (and faculty/staff too for that matter ;o) But, for undergrads, I don’t know what the rules are. -- Rodney Sparapani, Associate Professor of

Hi Rodney, Just a point of clarification, it is completely OK for R-GSOC students to write non-R code, and that happens every year (most common other languages are probably FORTRAN/C/C++ and JavaScript but ESS/elisp should be fine too). See non-R languages column in last year's coding projects

Hi Toby: Well that is very generous. But ESS is not written in R. So I don’t think this would work. Also getting another person to file FSF paper work can be painful. For example, the student’s employer is likely a university who would own their code. Typically you have to get them to give

Hi ESS devs, Have you thought of trying to recruit a Google Summer of Code (GSOC) student to work on ESS? Each year R has 20+ students in GSOC who each work on 10 week coding projects (June-Aug). To recruit a student please write a project proposal and add it to the R-GSOC wiki,
