better support RMarkdown syntax

[maxheld83]

I love writing RMarkdown with R-Box in ST3, but it seems I can't get proper syntax highlighting and REPL-ing/Build System to work at the same time.

If I select AcademicMarkdown as a syntax, highlighting for italics and even @Citations works fine, but no REPL or Build system or R highlighting.

Conversely, If I choose R Markdown, the above works fine, but I loose syntax highlighting for italics and other simple Markdown stuff.

What's up with that? My screw-up, or still a limitation?

Ps.: fantastic work! – It's like magic to have R in your ST3. No more IDEs.

RMarkdown is derived from Markdown Extended and obviously it doesn't support italics and citations.

I will give it a thought. It shouldn't too difficult to add AcademicMarkdown support.

Thanks @randy3k – sorry if I was being dense.
AcademicMarkdown support would be super.
Thanks for the great work, can't get over how great it is to have R in ST3.

I have added AcademicMarkdown support for sending commands. However, the R code high light will not work as it should be handled by AcademicMarkdown syntax.
