Conclusion

R Markdown for Document Creation - June Masters introduced how to create documents using R Markdown, explaining the process of setting up a new file, selecting a title, and changing the output format to PDF or HTML. They highlighted the use of YAML for document metadata like title, author, and date, and demonstrated how to format text using single stars for italics and double stars for bold.

Incorporating Links and Document Structure - June Masters demonstrated how to include links by enclosing the link text in square brackets followed by the URL in round brackets. They also explained how to create headings using hashtags and introduced the concept of “chunks” for including code within the document, noting that an engine icon allows for options like showing or hiding code and results.
