Your Turn

  1. Working in your report.Rmd file, above the RMarkdown second-level header, add the following first-level header: “Introduction”

  2. Add this text (note the bold and italics) below the introduction header: “This report is the best report ever. Pretty much the bees’ knees. Can’t say that I’ve ever seen a better report.”

  3. Add the following second-level header: “Reasons Why This Report is the Best”

  4. Add the following list of reasons why the report is the best:

    • It’s amazing

    • It’s quite amazing

    • It’s seriously amazing

  5. Knit again and reopen the report.html file to make sure your changes show up.

Hi David, I done all exercises and the output worked well for me but my report does not appear in the 4th window of R under files tabs. It's pop up the first time but for changes I have to go on my destktop were I saved the file so I can open it back and see the changes.

In terms of formatting in RMarkdown, are you going to cover the Visual Markdown Editor?

Similarly, are there ways to change alignment (e.g. center a title) in the output?
