This FAQ is compiled from the issues and messages I received from blog posts and emails, etc.
- reports does not work...
- Please first update all your R packages (use
update.packages()) and probably R itself (what is the current R version?), then see if it works; if not... - If this still does not fix the problem please file an issue report
- What is the best place to ask questions when the package website or vignette is not helpful?
- Depending what you want to ask, you may use these tools:
- StackOverflow (Recommended): general questions (more experts and quicker answers there).
- Github issues: bug reports and feature requests.
- Email me at tyler.rinker@gmail.com - this is the least recommended way unless this is really private issue.
- How should I get started?
- Watch the intro video
- Look at the qick start slides
- Read the vignette on the GitHub homepage
- Do you recommend an editor for working with R and reports?
- Hands down RStudio. The reports packages was designed to work with RStudio.
- I also use WinEdt for Windows and TexMaker. for Linux Mint, but I think the LaTeX editor you use should be comfortable to you.
