Introducing RMarkdown

  • Earlier, I introduced you to Markdown.
  • RMarkdown is an extension on that standard that lets you embed R code in a Markdown document.
  • This makes it possible to create fully integrated reports.

Sed ut perspiciatis, unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem
accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam eaque ipsa, quae
ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta
sunt, explicabo.

```{r}

data(cars)
head(cars)

```
