Update to Bootstrap v4?

[schantanu]

What is the road map to implementation of Bootstrap 4, since it has been fully released now.

I have tried replacing the Bootstrap version in "C:\Program Files\R\R~version\library\rmarkdown\rmd\h\bootstrap-3.3.5", but it has never worked in its entirety. Any suggested hacks for now?

@schantanu Thanks for the suggestion implement Bootstrap 4. We'll consider it as we work on future updates to rmarkdown. There has been no testing yet with Bootstrap so we are unable to provide recommendations on workarounds (and it's not advisable to manually replace the Bootstrap JS library).

This may be a good item for us to discuss in June during our work week. Shiny has the same issue: rstudio/shiny#1604

[rich-iannone]

@yihui definitely!

[schantanu]

Pretty, please. 😀

I have lost my sleep with sticky footer and card groups issues in Bootstrap 3.3.

I worked out BS4 migration in pkgdown and some of it may be useful.

r-lib/pkgdown#1111

I'm interested in this too.

Twitter has deprecated bootstrap 3.

Has there been any discussion on moving the v4?

Thanks!

[yihui]

Not yet. Sorry. I have reopened this issue for consideration next year, but I guess the actual work would not be trivial. It is even trickier with the fact that we'll also have to migrate to Bootstrap 4 together with the Shiny team.

Thanks for your patience!

FYI, my team and I have been working on this for months. We think we have a way to move everyone relatively painlessly forward to Bootstrap 4 without breaking backward compatibility for existing documents. Stay tuned.

For information for anyone still arriving on this old issue thread now locked, bootstrap 4 can now be used with Rmarkdown using the bslib package. This allows to switch to bootstrap 4 and any newer version that the bslib package will support.
