  "textContent": "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\navailable; documentation and examples are in the package.\n\nThis 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.\n\n> #### Changes in binb version 0.0.8 (2026-05-01)\n>\n>   * Small updates to documentation URLs and continuous integration\n>\n>   * The package now uses Authors@R in DESCRIPTION\n>\n>   * Newer pandoc versions are accommodated by adding a required counter variable in the latex template file\n>\n>\n\n\nCRANberries provides a summary of changes to the previous\nversion. For questions or comments, please use the issue tracker at the GitHub repo.\n\nThis post by Dirk\nEddelbuettel originated on his Thinking inside the box blog.
