Text formatting with Markdown

Exercise 27.3.1

Practice what you’ve learned by creating a brief CV. The title should be your name, and you should include headings for (at least) education or employment. Each of the sections should include a bulleted list of jobs/degrees. Highlight the year in bold.

A minimal example is the following CV.

---
title: "Joseph Campbell"
---

## Employment

-   Statistician, USAA, **2011--present**.
-   Adjunct Professor, University of Texas at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX, **2006--present**.


## Education

-   Ph.D. in Applied Demography, University of Texas at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX,  **2011**

-   M.Sc. in Statistics, University of Texas at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX, **2008**

-   B.Sc. in Mathematics, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, **2005**.

Your own example could be much more detailed.

2. Using the R Markdown quick reference, figure out how to:

1. Add a footnote.
2. Add a horizontal rule.
3. Add a block quote.

---
title: Horizontal Rules, Block Quotes, and Footnotes
---

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.[^quick-fox]

Use three or more `-` for a horizontal rule. For example,

---

The horizontal rule uses the same syntax as a YAML block? So how does R markdown
distinguish between the two?  Three dashes ("---") is only treated the start of
a YAML block if it is at the start of the document.

> This would be a block quote. Generally, block quotes are used to indicate
> quotes longer than a three or four lines.

[^quick-fox]: This is an example of a footnote. The sentence this is footnoting
  is often used for displaying fonts because it includes all 26 letters of the
  English alphabet.

3. Copy and paste the contents of diamond-sizes.Rmd from https://github.com/hadley/r4ds/tree/master/rmarkdown in to a local R markdown document. Check that you can run it, then add text after the frequency polygon that describes its most striking features.

Most of the twenty largest datasets are in the lowest clarity category (“I1”), with one being in the second best category (“VVS2”) The top twenty diamonds have colors ranging from the worst, “J”, to best, “D”,categories, though most are in the lower categories “J” and “I”. The top twenty diamonds are more evenly distributed among the cut categories, from “Fair” to “Ideal”, although the worst category (Fair) is the most common. ```
