Estimated time: 12 minutes

Overview

Questions

• How do you write a lesson using R Markdown and sandpaper?

Objectives

• Explain how to use markdown with the new lesson template
• Demonstrate how to include pieces of code, figures, and nested challenge blocks

Introduction

---

It is still tidy - so we stay in the tidyverse dialect which we prefer.

But it is quite different:

R

library(tidyplots)
energy %>%
    tidyplot(x = year, y = power, color = energy_source) %>%
    add_areastack_absolute() %>%
    adjust_size(width = NA, height = NA) %>%
    adjust_font(fontsize = 12) %>%
    add_title("Energy Production Over Time")

ERROR

Error in `dplyr::mutate()`:
ℹ In argument: `scale_type = my_scale_type(variable)`.
Caused by error in `purrr::map_chr()` at tidyplots/R/helpers.R:326:5:

Key Points

• Use .md files for episodes when you want static content
• Use .Rmd files for episodes when you need to generate output
• Run sandpaper::check_lesson() to identify any issues with your lesson
• Run sandpaper::build_lesson() to preview your lesson locally
