I've noticed my document by default doesn't include a date and author - I can easily add in manually, but was wondering if it was a setting I should change in my Rstudio app?
David Keyes Founder • September 18, 2021
Yup, you can definitely change it! I'll usually do HTML when I first start something because it's easiest. I'll then later change to a different format depending on what I need for my final deliverable.
Payal Mulchandani • September 20, 2021
Getting an error which says - Required package version could not be found: caTools 1.14 is not available. What do I need to update ?
Patricia Montano • January 10, 2022
This is very cool!! I'm looking forward to the next sections and already seeing how this could be time saver.
Tatiana Bustos • July 22, 2022
Had no idea R could do this with reports! VERY COOL
Jonathan Han • October 3, 2022
Hi David,
I was experimenting the formats that we could product upon knitting RMarkdown. However, I ran into some trouble while attempting to produce a PDF output.
The error message on the 'compile PDF' tab was — Unable to find specific LaTeX program 'pdfLaTeX' on system path.
Does this mean that I might have to additionally install other packages to enable this?
