Three days ago, Nan-Hung contributed a TAMU (Texas A&M) theme to the xaringan package, following my call for new xaringan themes last year. It was a good and relatively simple example of how xaringan CSS themes work. He also summarized other currently available themes in xaringan in his example. It is great that people are starting to realize the power of CSS. I’m definitely looking forward to more wonderful themes.

When sending money, please be sure to add a note “gift” or “donation” if possible, so it won’t be treated as my taxable income but a genuine gift. Needless to say, donation is completely voluntary and I appreciate any amount you can give.
Please feel free to email me if you prefer a different way to give. Thank you very much!
I’ll give back a significant portion of the donations to the open-source community and charities. For the record, I received about $30,000 in total (before tax) in 2024-25, and gave back about $15,000 (after tax).
