Using R Quarto With Mermaid and FontAwesome Does Not Render Icons - r-markdown

I am trying to include FontAwesome icons in R Quarto. I am rendering to a presentation in PPTX. However, it does not matter which presentation final type I select or any other output type.
Sample code to replicate issue:
```{mermaid}
flowchart TD
B["fab:fa-twitter for peace"]
B-->C[fa:fa-ban forbidden]
B-->D(fa:fa-spinner)
B-->E(A fa:fa-camera-retro perhaps?)
```
The nodes render but none of the fa:* items are showing. I see the class is created in the HTML (if rendered to Reveal.JS or HTML):
<i class="fab fa-twitter"></i>
How can I get R Quarto (or other R markdown) using mermaid to include the font awesome icons?

You may want to look at the fontawesome extension which works at least for HTML outputs. I assume that by initializing in the text instead of only using the mermaid environment, it has the necessary HTML font awesome dependency to render the icons correctly.

format: html

Initialize {{< fa thumbs-up >}} and then it should work:
```{mermaid}
flowchart TD
B["fab:fa-twitter for peace"]
B-->C[fa:fa-ban forbidden]
B-->D(fa:fa-spinner)
B-->E(A fa:fa-camera-retro perhaps?)
```

Pandoc powerpoint with template : title slide is blank

I'm using pandoc to write a slideshow as Markdown and then export it as Powerpoint file with a .potx template, through the --reference-doc as mentionned in Pandoc's documentation.
Everything is working fine, except that the title slide is blank in the result. It correclty uses the "Title Slide" master slide from the template, but the title, presenter name and dates, which are specified in the pandoc metadata are not inserted.
If I remove the master slide from my template, the data is rendered correctly but using the "Standard Slide" master slide.
Any clue about this ?

Use the title= HTML attribute with RMarkdown

I am trying to understand if it is possible to insert the HTML title= attribute (not necessarily inside an <abbr> tag) within an RMarkdown document (e.g. a blog post written through blogdown)
From W3C: the title attribute specifies extra information about an element. The information is most often shown as a tooltip text when the mouse moves over the element.
The <abbr title="World Health Organization">WHO</abbr> was founded in 1948.
Couldn't find anything regarding using in in RMarkdown tho
You can write raw HTML in Markdown. However, if you are using Hugo >= v0.60.0, raw HTML will be ignored by default. You need to set an option in your config file to enable it:
[markup.goldmark.renderer]
unsafe= true

Add an image to Rmarkdown Bookdown output before top level heading

The example below (i.e. saved as a file index.rmd ) has the same code chunk to display an image above and below the top level heading, but the image doesn't appear above the top level heading. This occurs if there is a file _output.yml with only this entry bookdown::gitbook: in the same directory.
That line seems to enforce a table of contents (which I want) and that appears to strip out anything (image or text) before the first top level heading by default (which I don't want) - so can this behaviour be modified?

```{r echo=FALSE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
library(imager)
im <- load.image(system.file('extdata/Leonardo_Birds.jpg',package='imager'))
plot(im, axes=FALSE)
```
# R Markdown
```{r echo=FALSE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
library(imager)
im <- load.image(system.file('extdata/Leonardo_Birds.jpg',package='imager'))
plot(im, axes=FALSE)
```
What follows is workaround to your Options 2 and 3, using Markdown and CSS to style images and HTML+CSS to style text; also, using base64 image (transparent gif) generator as an space separator between elements.
Beware of whitespaces! (at the end of each line - place two white spaces and hit ENTER)
Does one of these approaches/hacks work for you? If not, it would be better to delete the answer, it may be misleading to others.

Using Markdown table to "style" images |-| (left-aligned), |:-:| (centered) and |-:| (right-aligned) will work well with simple RMarkdown outputs.
I realised that you have an image under # top level heading positioned at the very top of the page - with top:0px. causing image duplication and, possibly, hover problem:
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/GiViTbA.png" style="position:absolute;top:0px;height:100px;" />
replace with:
![](http://stackoverflow.com/favicon.ico){width=50px style="display: block; margin:0 auto;"}
and see what will happen.

# I'm a top level heading {-}

Note, you need to replace the image with a local image if you want to show the image in the rstudio viewer.
The image will be visible in the html file created when you knit, if you open in a browser connected to the internet.

EDIT:
Let's try to find a common ground, A Minimal Book Example, github here.
Adjustments made in index.Rmd:

# Prerequisites
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/GiViTbA.png" style="position:absolute;top:50px;height:300px;align:center;" />
This is a _sample_ book written in **Markdown**. You can use anything that Pandoc's Markdown supports, e.g., a math equation $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$.
index.Rmd output:
Adjustments made in Chapter: Introduction (01-intro.Rmd):
# Introduction {#intro}
![](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==){height=240px}
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/GiViTbA.png" style="position:absolute;top:50px;height:300px;align:center;" />
You can label chapter and section titles using `{#label}` after them, e.g., we can reference Chapter \#ref(intro). If you do not manually label them, there will be automatic labels anyway, e.g., Chapter \#ref(methods).
01-intro.Rmd output:
With this solution we are "masking" a top level heading (# Introduction) with .png image, which will appear in the Table of Content as text.
Disadvantage: besides the obvious hack, image width must be at least equal or wider than top level heading title.
Note: 3 options are provided here, and none of them are perfect. The perfect solution may rely on modifications to the bookdown package?
Option 1:
Use includes with before_body like this in your _output.yml file (suggested here):
bookdown::gitbook:
css: assets/style.css
includes:
before_body: assets/big-image.html
after_body: assets/footer.html
Disadvantages:
i) Requires making a html file just to insert an image.
ii) If using a web-based image, won't show in Rstudio viewer.
iii) If using a local image, path can get mixed up and won't show in online web html rendering
iv) Includes image at the top of each chapter of bookdown if using before_body: my_image.html. Alternative option in_header: my_image.html does not seem compatible with the sidebar index.
Option 2
Insert image via yaml in index.rmd, using the solution under Tip 3 Add a Logo in your title/header/footer at this blog post
---
title: |
![](my_image.png)
My title
Disadvantages:
i) When you hover over the image, it displays a copy of the image in a slightly different location (Can this "Hover" behaviour be disabled?)
ii) If using a web-based image, won't show in Rstudio viewer.
iii) If using a local image, path can get mixed up and won't show in online web html rendering
Option 3
The code below borrowed from here (which you can place below the top level heading) presumably goes direct through the knitting process and inserts itself in the final html. The issue is that the image doesn't make room for itself and ends up over the first text. Is there some simple html/css to sort this out?
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/GiViTbA.png" style="position:absolute;top:0px;height:100px;" />
Disadvantages:
i) Image doesn't make room for itself and ends up over the first text. You can get around this with a hack by coding extra space (trial and error) through the yaml title like this:
title: |
.

EDIT
This is superseded by Radovan's accepted answer.
This was the best answer, taking option 3 from my previous answer, and combining a code approach to making the relevant space from Radovan's answer.
You will still have problems if you want to include a title in the YAML (I don't need this, as my title is in the image).
Also, on first loading the page, it presents nicely, but image is not seen if you go to the top of the document using the table of contents (the inheader approach used by this bookdown shows a better behaviour, but appears at the top of every chapter, which is not desired).

The problem of hovering the image duplicating the image can be fixed by removing the line below from the css file that is generated at \libs\gitbook-2.6.7\css\style.css
.book .book-header h1 a:hover{color:inherit;text-decoration:none}#media (max-width:1000px){.book .book-header h1{display:none}}
as a result, this code below places the image right above the title:

![class='btn noHover'](images/Stats.png){width=400px style="display: block; margin:0 auto; align:center;" }

a href name issue in D8 Editor Advanced link

I have recently installed D8 Editor Advanced link and set(content and format)
<a href hreflang data-entity-type data-entity-uuid id rel target title class="">
And when i enter a link through editor
I got options like
URL
Title
And i enter url then name but i got output like
<p>url</p> (from ck editor source)
output like
I expect title instead of url as a tag name.please help me
I'm not sure it's an issue with Editor Advanced Link.
The title here is not the visible texte but the title HTML attribute (as explain by the field description).
If I understand properly your question, you want to achieve something like <a href="url>title</a>. Using CKeditor, when you want to add a link, you should before write the visible text then applying a link wrapping it.
Here is an example GIF on a project also using Editor Advanced Link:

React change string to component (multiple)

I want to make custom grammar like Wiki and how can I do it in React and without dangerouslySetInnerHTML?
For example:
"hello this is simple string [linkToSomewhere] {this is where bold goes}"
becomes
<div>
hello this is simple string <Link where="linktoSomewhere"/> <Bold string="this is where bold goes"/>
</div>
like this
I found way to parse custom markdown to array but found no way to insert it as react component array is like
link[0] = "linkToSomewhere"
bold[0] = "this is where Bold goes"
Thank you in advance!
There are a few Markdown libraries available for React. Check out:
react-markdown: https://rexxars.github.io/react-markdown/
react-remarkable: https://github.com/acdlite/react-remarkable
And here's a whole host of other libraries that can translate your Markdown document into a nicely rendered HTML: https://react.rocks/tag/Markdown
And in order to learn the Markdown syntax, there are a few cheat sheets available, such as:
