Dirk Eddelbuettel: binb 0.0.8 on CRAN: Maintenance
The eight release of the binb package,
and first in two years, is now on CRAN and in r2u. binb regroups
four rather nice themes for writing LaTeX Beamer
presentations much more easily in (R)Markdown. As a teaser,
a quick demo combining all four themes is
available; documentation and examples are in the package.
This release contains regular internal updates to continuous
integration, URLs reference and switch to Authors@R. The trigger for the
release, though, was a small updated need when very recent
pandoc versions (as shipped with RStudio) are used which
require a new variable declaration in the LaTeX template files in order
to process uncaptioned tables. The summary of changes follows.
