SDS Project Configuration 5 - Images and HTML Export

Placing Images I could not find a way to automatically display the images. The best way seems to be to manually write the following. Replace image.png with the full path if the file is not in the immediate location as the org file. [[file: image.png]] With this, images can be toggled on and off with iimage-mode. You can make use of more options in the following manner. #+CAPTION: Penguin body mass #+ATTR_HTML: :width 600 [[./image.png]] Exporting to HTML I installed the package nice-org-html for exporting org files to html.

For the different blocks to be able to communicate with each other, the language needs to run in the same session. Setting this up for Python and R was straightforward, but Julia had me stuck for a long time. The dataset used below is available at Allison Horst’s page. ...
