Recap of Session
#115:

ümläüts unicode & uncials

• ümläüts & unicode
• uncials

ümläüts (and other special characters) can be specified via unicode values:

unicode	character	specification
U+00FC	ü	ü/ü
U+2764	❤️	❤
U+2661	♡	♡
U+1F0B1	🂱	🂱

…and other font specifications differ across document type – local installation for pdf & typst but not html (also mind pdf-engine with )

---
title: "Untitled"
mainfont: "Uncial Antiqua"
format: html
#  pdf:
#    pdf-engine: lualatex
---

```{css}

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Uncial Antiqua');

```

1

mainfont should apply to most document elements (but possibly not all – keep an eye on )

2

alternative YAML structure for (if fonts not displaying as expected)

3

easiest html option if fonts not displaying as expected (html dependent on viewer setup, not your local font installations)

## Sappy sentiment goes here... {background-color="#ffe2f6"}

```{r heart-animation}
library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)
library(gganimate)

heartdf = tibble(
    t = seq(0, 2*pi, pi/60),
    x = 16*sin(t)^3,
    y = 13*cos(t) - 5*cos(2*t) - 2*cos(3*t) - cos(4*t)
)

textdf = tibble(t = max(heartdf$t) + 1:15)

ggplot(data = heartdf, aes(x, y)) + 
    geom_polygon(aes(group = 1), fill = "red") +
    geom_text(aes(x = 0, y = 0, label = "\u2661\u2764\u2665 Va va voom!!! \u2665\u2764\u2661", parse=TRUE), 
              data = textdf, size = 12, colour = "white") +
  xlab("\u2665 XxXxXxX \u2665") +
  ylab("\u2665 OoOoOoO \u2665") +
    transition_reveal(t)
```

1

if you’d like to alter the script appearance, also change the font specification on line #17 (below, within the css chunk)

2

add/alter falling hearts by changing the url’s on line #’s 20, 24, 28, etc – there are 6 total images specified

Note

Code on left will create a card similarly styled to the card we created – you can swap code images, colors, etc…

You’ll need the standard snow extension installed for the heart–falling effect to work
