R Markdown Cookbook

by Yihui Xie, Christophe Dervieux, Emily Riederer

R Markdown is a powerful tool for combining analysis and reporting into the single document in the spirit of literate programming and reproducible research. Since the birth of the rmarkdown package in early 2014, R Markdown has grown substantially from a package that supports a few output formats (such as HTML, PDF, and Word) to an extensive and diverse ecosystem that enables the creation of books, blogs, scientific articles, websites, and more. Due to its rapid success, this ecosystem is hard to learn completely meaning that R Markdown users, from novices to advanced users, likely do not know all that these packages have to offer. The R Markdown Cookbook confronts this gap by showcasing short, practical examples of wide-ranging tips and tricks to get the most out of these tools.After reading this book, you will learn how Enhance your R Markdown content with diagrams, citations, and dynamically generated textStreamline your workflow with child documents, code chunk references, and cachingControl the formatting and layout with Pandoc markdown syntax or by writing custom HTML and LaTeX templatesUtilize chunk options and hooks to fine-tune how your code is processedSwitch between different language engineers to seamlessly incorporate python, D3, and more into your analysis
