post on quantities - first prototype

[Enchufa2]

Here we go. Comments welcome.

BTW, what's the workflow to convert the Rmd into an md for Jekyll?

Trying to install quantities from master, but seeing (with units from master):

* installing to library ‘/home/edzer/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4’
* installing *source* package ‘quantities’ ...
** R
** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading
Warning: replacing previous import ‘errors::%*%’ by ‘units::%*%’ when loading ‘quantities’
** help
*** installing help indices
** building package indices
** testing if installed package can be loaded
Warning: replacing previous import ‘errors::%*%’ by ‘units::%*%’ when loading ‘quantities’
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘quantities’:
 object 'drop_errors' not found whilst loading namespace 'quantities'
Error: loading failed
Execution halted
ERROR: loading failed
* removing ‘/home/edzer/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4/quantities’
* restoring previous ‘/home/edzer/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4/quantities’

The workflow (obviously!) is here. Change the first line.

Ah, ok, I didn't see the makefile.

Regarding the installation of quantities, it requires both the master version of units and errors.

Converted. Preview (more or less) here.

It runs now, thanks. I'm full with meetings Today; should be able to comment by Tomorrow.

[Enchufa2]

Great, thanks!

Thanks! What happened to the plot?

[edzer]

Thanks - it's there now.
