Tables
You can use the kable() function from the knitr package to format tables that integrate well with the rest of the scientific handout style. The table captions are placed in the margin like figures in the HTML output.
knitr::kable(
mtcars[1:6, 1:6], caption = 'A subset of mtcars.'
)| mpg | cyl | disp | hp | drat | wt | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mazda RX4 | 21.0 | 6 | 160 | 110 | 3.90 | 2.620 |
| Mazda RX4 Wag | 21.0 | 6 | 160 | 110 | 3.90 | 2.875 |
| Datsun 710 | 22.8 | 4 | 108 | 93 | 3.85 | 2.320 |
| Hornet 4 Drive | 21.4 | 6 | 258 | 110 | 3.08 | 3.215 |
| Hornet Sportabout | 18.7 | 8 | 360 | 175 | 3.15 | 3.440 |
| Valiant | 18.1 | 6 | 225 | 105 | 2.76 | 3.460 |
Block Quotes
We know from the Markdown syntax that paragraphs that start with > are converted to block quotes. If you want to add a right-aligned footer for the quote, you may use the function quote_footer() from scientific in an inline R expression. Here is an example:
“If it weren’t for my lawyer, I’d still be in prison. It went a lot faster with two people digging.”
Without using quote_footer(), it looks like this (the second line is just a normal paragraph):
“Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about wine.”
— Fran Lebowitz
Mathematical equations
In fact, you can include anything in the margin using the knitr engine named marginfigure. Unlike R code chunks ```{r}, you write a chunk starting with ```{marginfigure} instead, then put the content in the chunk. See an example on the right about the first fundamental theorem of calculus.
We know from the first fundamental theorem of calculus that for \(x\) in \([a, b]\): \[\frac{d}{dx}\left( \int_{a}^{x} f(u)\,du\right)=f(x).\]
OR
\[\frac{d}{dx}\left( \int_{b}^{x} f(x)\,du\right)=f(x).\]
