Intro to R Markdown

This repo contains an introductory presentation and exercises with R Markdown.

The goal is to get users comfortable with the basic syntax and workflow of writing (primarily academic) documents in R Markdown.

The presentation can be found in presentations/learn-rmarkdown.Rmd

Users will need a few packages to run the presentation

install.packages("rmarkdown")
install.packages("bookdown")
install.packages("xaringan")

You will also need a LaTeX installation. If you don’t already have one, I recommend using tinytex

install.packages("tinytex")
tinytex::install_tinytex()  # install TinyTeX

Further instructions are available here

You will also need a reference manager for the examples. I personally like zotero
