pinp 0.0.10: More Tweaks

A new version of our pinp package arrived on CRAN two days ago, roughly one year after the previous release. The pinp package allows for snazzier one or two column Markdown-based pdf vignettes, and is now used by a few packages. A screenshot of the package vignette can be seen below. Additional screenshots are at the pinp page.

This release adds another option for a customized date YAML variable suitable for e.g. a published at date thanks to Ilya Kashnitsky, has some tweaks to the README.md as well as support for pandoc columns mode (as a small extension of code from the nice repo by Grant McDermott).

The NEWS entry for this release follows.

Changes in pinp version 0.0.10 (2020-10-01)

  • New document_date YAML variable to optionally set a 'Published at' or alike date (Ilya Kashnitsky in #85).

  • Small tweaks to README.md (Dirk)

  • Support pandoc columns mode (Dirk in #88)

Courtesy of my CRANberries, there is a comparison to the previous release. More information is on the tint page. For questions or comments use the issue tracker off the GitHub repo.
