Example: R Markdown with html output

This page shows how a compiled R markdown file looks like (in fact, all code examples in this course were compiled with R markdown).

This is a header

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

When you click the Knit button in RStudio (only available for .Rmd files), a document will be generated, which includes both content as well as the output of any embedded R code chunks within the document. You can embed an R code chunk like this:

summary(cars)

##      speed           dist       
##  Min.   : 4.0   Min.   :  2.00  
##  1st Qu.:12.0   1st Qu.: 26.00  
##  Median :15.0   Median : 36.00  
##  Mean   :15.4   Mean   : 42.98  
##  3rd Qu.:19.0   3rd Qu.: 56.00  
##  Max.   :25.0   Max.   :120.00

This is another header

You can also embed plots, for example:

Note that the echo = FALSE parameter was added to the code chunk to prevent printing of the R code that generated the plot (see below).

When you click the **Knit** button in RStudio, a document will be generated which includes both content as well as the output of any embedded R code chunks *within* the document. You can embed an R code chunk like this:

```{r}
summary(cars)
```

You can also embed plots, for example:

![](/moer-bsc-project-seminar-SDM/assets/images/air_temperature.jpg)

Note that the `echo = FALSE` parameter was added to the code chunk to prevent printing of the R code that generated the plot (see below).
