Example 1: Text Only

R Markdown

This is an R Markdown document. Markdown is a simple formatting syntax for authoring HTML, PDF, and MS Word documents. For more details on using R Markdown see http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com.

In RStudio, click the Knit button to generate a document that includes both content as well as the output of any embedded R code chunks within the document. From R, use rmarkdown::render(path_to_file).

Here are some more examples of how to use the R Markdown formatting conventions:

Headers

The number of “#” signs sets the level of the header; here, 3rd level.

Lists

Bullets:

• first [text is “* first”]
• second [text is “* second”]
  • second item, first subitem [text is “+ second item …”]

Numbered list:

1. First item [text is “1. First item”]
2. Second Item
   • first subitem of second item

Format Options:

• bold [text is “**bold**”]
• italic [text is “italic”]
• superscript: a²; subscript: a₂. [typed "a^2^ and a~2~]
• horizontal rule: *** [entered on a separate line]

---

• links: https://www.eol.ucar.edu or EOL

  • (the second form links to the same site but the address is not visible. It is entered as follows:
    

  [EOL](https://www.eol.ucar.edu)

• By default, lines are joined together into continuous paragraphs. To force a line break: add two spaces at the end of a line, like this:
  first line
  second line

• images:

"![caption](path_to_figure){width=50%}"
