FYI I set up a slides folder for the qcthat pkgdown. I intentionally didn't put them in inst, because that means they'll be installed with the package, and it makes more sense to render them as part of the pkgdown site. I can copy/paste that setup into this PR if you'd like.

Yeah, this is all messed up still. it was getting late and Copilot was slow. Thanks for the pointer to the qcthat slides - fixing now. Just prompted:

https://github.com/Gilead-BioStats/qcthat has an intro slide deck deployed in pkgdown. use the same approach in gsm.core. feel free to checkout the qcthat package locally if needed.

Which i suspect will do the trick.

Almost, but it kept it in inst. It would probably work, but it's messier than my way of doing it. I'm sure it'll miss .Rbuildignore without extremely careful prompting.

Jeremy Wildfire (@jwildfire) Oh, importantly, this is targeting main, which I'm pretty sure you don't want to do. You can switch that with the edit pencil next to the title.

tnx. fixed.

This is still in a directory that gets installed by the user. I think it makes more sense to keep it outside of inst. I want to push back because my goal is to update gsm.utils to support this, and right now it would make me put them somewhere I don't want to put them in qcthat 🙃

Yeah. I'll mark this draft until it's ready for review. Next iteration (between meetings) is to add support in gsm.utils for doing this via examples framework.

[Jon Harmon (jonthegeek)]

Examples framework (in inst) also installs with the package, but I think that's mostly fine. It makes less sense to me to bundle the slide deck in the package itself and not just the website (but honestly both probably COULD go outside inst and only show up on the website).

[Jeremy Wildfire (jwildfire)]

Let's move this discussion over to gsm.utils and make needed updates there and then use this PR to pilot an update that supports slides/qmd rendering in addition to our current examples framework.
