Hi David - I get these error messages when I try to run the code: > Error: unexpected '[' in "![" > > # Introduction > > This is a report for the Oregon Department of Education on diversity in Oregon school districts. Here is the mission statement for ODE: Error: unexpected symbol in "This is" > > > The Oregon Department of Education fosters equity and excellence for every learner through collaboration with educators, partners, and communities.^[Source: ODE Website] Error: unexpected '>' in ">"

Is there a reason to use the github version of remedy vs the CRAN version? https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/remedy/index.html

Hi David - I'm getting stuck when trying to knit the document. It's giving me the following error:
"Error in contrib.url(repos, "source") : trying to use CRAN without setting a mirror Calls: ... withVisible -> eval -> eval -> install.packages -> contrib.url Execution halted"

I installed the remotes package then used remotes::install_github("ThinkR-open/remedy").

Any thoughts? I couldn't seemed to find any solutions online that helped me. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your time with this. It worked! Should have known not to install packages there. Thanks again.

I am having trouble with knitting on all of my projects. I get the following error message: "Error while opening file. No such file or directory."

Is there a way to edit the size of the logo, like make it smaller for example?
