Hi Jessica! A common thing that happens that messes up with formatting is the lack of spaces between elements or between paragraphs. In your case, it seems like there's a space missing between the 1. and the words after. Try adding a space there and let us know if it works!

Hello I am facing similar problem , both with and without space the numbering and bullet list is not working:

Input You can use bullet or numbers

1. Number 5
2. Number 6

or 1.list 2.list

The output was:

You can use bullet or numbers 1. Number 5 2. Number 6

or 1.list 2.list

Make sure to put a space after the period. Let me know if that helps!

Hi, I did that and keep getting a similar output "Introduction A document on penguins for training

Reporting on three penguin species 1. Adelie 1. Gentoo 1. Chinstrap"

Has it got something to do with any settings of rmarkdown?

It shouldn't have anything to do with settings. Could you please post your markdown text here? Please make sure to add three backticks before and after it in order to make it formatted correctly on the website.

# Introduction
A document on penguins for training

Reporting on **three** penguin species
1. Adelie
1. Gentoo
1. Chinstrap

Good to learn *so* much about ***penguins***

Ah, I see the issue! You need to add a line break after the "Reporting on ..." line. Like this:

Generally speaking, you want to add line breaks before and after each item. Hope that fixes it for you!

Great! thanks it worked.

Another bothering issue I have been trouble seeing my figures seen in the viewer pane - what should be done for this??

SOrted these both..Thanks David

Glad it's sorted out! What ended up being the problem with your plots not displaying in the Plots pane?

Hi,

I have been storing them as objects directly and plots were not seen on the viewer pane if stored as objects

Hi Brian! This is a great question and the short answer is YES! We are going to learn more about it in the last few weeks of the course, and we also need "style files" to be used as templates for our documents. For HTML this means a CSS file, for PDF you can use a LaTeX, and for Word, you can use another Word document.

Some things can be done using HTML notation for HTML outputs, but that's rarely used because that's the opposite of what we want with reproducible reports, right? We want to change the content, not the format.

We can chat about it in a co-working session!

What format are you trying to render to?

Hi David, Thank you for your response. I was looking look render to HTML format. It didn't seem to show up in the viewer pane. Later, I closed and restarted my R session and then it did work.

Glad it worked!

Hi David, Unable to view the html in the preview pane, even after restarting the session. Please guide!

Hey, Valli! In RStudio, at the top of your source pane (where your .qmd file is open), there is a small gear icon with a down-arrow next to it. If you click that, you'll see an option for "Preview in Viewer Pane" there. Try selecting that and seeing if your subsequent HTML output is rendered in the viewer pane.

It worked! Thanks

Hi, Leo! In RStudio, at the top of your source pane (where your .qmd file is open), there is a small gear icon with a down-arrow next to it. If you click that, you'll see an option for "Preview in Viewer Pane" there. Try selecting that and seeing if your subsequent HTML output is rendered in the viewer pane. And for doing both bold and italic, you'll just combine the notation or add an extra set of asterisks:

*this is italic*  
**this is bold**  
***this is bold and italic*** 

I think it is bold and italics

*** words***

Hey, Gabby! It sounds like you might be in the visual editor! At the top of your source pane, there will be two buttons that say Source and Visual to switch between the two. If you click Source, it should change back to being pure unstyled code.

Try adding line breaks before and after each line. That should fix it.
