[Rd] Recommended Reading: Advanced R Second Edition
Dear R Developers, After having fully read "Advanced R First Edition" , and having just bought my physical copy of "Advanced R Second Edition", I recommend that: Any community member interested in the development of R reads "Advanced R Second Edition", which explains R Language Core concepts cristal clear, and shows the motivation behind libraries such as "rlang", "purrr", "bench", "profvis", "sloop", "lobstr", above others. I'm sure you will learn something new and enjoy the Reading! Digital Book (Free): https://adv-r.hadley.nz/ Physical Book: https://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Second-Chapman-Hall-CRC/dp/0815384572/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=advanced+r+second+edition&qid=1563703482&s=gateway&sprefix=advanced+R+second+edition&sr=8-1 Best, Juan [[alternative HTML version deleted]] __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel

When building HTML from the Texinfo sources, we already have a sed
script in place: we can easily teach it to also add the HTML5 viewport
meta tag as suggested.
I'll do so after more checking ...

Try the R Manuals.
https://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html
There's also some good books by John Chambers.

I'm assuming that you mean "cr${y}stal clear".
