# Pressure Data Set {#pressure}

plot(pressure, xlab = "Temperature (deg C)",
     ylab = "Pressure (mm of Hg)",
     main = "pressure data: Vapor Pressure of Mercury")
```

# Top rows of the `cars` dataset {#table}

```{r table}
knitr:: kable(head(cars),
              caption = "Top 6 rows of cars dataset") %>%
  kable_styling(full_width = F)
```

# Change of design {#design}

As described by (Xie et al. 2021), useful templates come in various packages. One is the **rmdformats** package (Barnier 2021), which "provides a number of templates that pass different custom styling functions to the output option" ^[Xie et al. 2021, Chapter 16.8.1].

I am using the *downcute* template with the following `YAML header` settings:

```
output:
  rmdformats::downcute:
    self_contained: true
    default_style: "dark"
    downcute_theme: "default"
```
