In this week's assignments we're asking you to explore alternative RMarkdown formats. There are lots of formats available directly within the {rmarkdown} package. You might also want to explore {xaringan} for presentation slides or own package {pagedreport} for beautiful printable reports.

If you don't want to explore an alternative format then you could instead explore customising the table of contents, formatting headers or some other component of your .Rmd output.

In the video example I use the Slides" output: slidy_presentation --- ```{r setup, include=FALSE} knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE) ``` # HTML Slides There are many different formats available for making HTML slides. # slidy_presentation The simplest and most easily customisable option is ```{yaml} --- output: slidy_presentation --- ``` # {xaringan} The R in 3 Month videos and live session slides were all built with the {xaringan} package. There are two awesome features of this package: - There's a live slide previewer - The slide defaults make it very hard to include too much on a slide. # ggplot2 We can include charts in slides the same as with other RMarkdown formats ```{r, echo=FALSE, out.width='500px'} library(tidyverse) msleep %% count(vore) %% ggplot(aes(x = n, y = vore, fill = vore)) + geom_col() ``` ">code you can find in this gist.

I hate to say it, but I am having a working directory issue at this late stage of the game. I am trying to knit my project file, and even though I have set the working directory to get the data from the data-raw folder, when I check this with the getwd() command, it shows that the working directory has NOT been reset to the working directory I wanted. I have googled things to double check the use of getwd() and setwd() commands, and use of Session buttons, but all to no avail. I think I may need David or Charlie to do a remote control of my machine.
