Writing R markdown lessons: challenges and callouts

[sritchie73]

Knitr code chunks do not work in the challenge, callout, or any other "blockquote" sections.

In the latest R novice gapminder lessons (swcarpentry/r-novice-gapminder#24), I've written these chunks using the standard markdown code and {.output} blocks.

What are the rest of the R community doing? If this is reasonable, LAYOUT.md needs to be updated to include these instructions.

Hi Scott,

That was a "bug" in knitr and is now fixed in the latest version available
on GitHub.

@sritchie73, does updating your Knitr version resolve the problem reported? If so, should we update documentation to reflect the version requirement?

Is this still a problem with the new template?

This has been fixed for a while (swcarpentry/DEPRECATED-lesson-template#271) and it won't be a problem with the new template. @sritchie73 feel free to re-open if you still notice any issues.
