Issue 2024-W13 Highlights
How a recent pivot in one of the most popular testing frameworks in R unlocks mocking once again, bringing robust grammar checks to your R development environment with rspell, and flex your Shiny and HTML design muscles with flexbox.

This week's curator: Batool Almarzouq - @batool664 (X/Twitter)
Update on mocking for testing R packages
{rspell} Are you writing in a foreign language? The RStudio spelling dictionary setting is not sufficient to correct grammar errors. Try the {rspell} package to grammar-proof your notebooks and documentation straight on RStudio without copying-pasting.
