And we’re back with a new update to quarto-webr version 0.3.9! We’ve released a new version of the extension that deprecated the need for webr-worker.js and webr-serviceworker.js files to be present with the document under default options. This change was made possible by the update to webR v0.2.2 and was one of the most desired feature by users of the extension. Moreover, we’ve added preliminary support for RevealJS presentations. This feature allows users to create presentations using RevealJS and embed webR code cells directly into their slide deck. It’s like having a pocket size version of R in lecture!
