First template document

Create a rmarkdown document

Start by creating a new .Rmd file:

• Go to File -> New File -> R Markdown...
• Chose HTML as default output format from the Document section (This should be already selected as default)
• Enter a title and author for your document

Create and then save the file (Ctrl/Cmd + S) in a convenient location on your machine.

Before you start working with the document:

• Knit the document to see what happens
  • Use either the Knit button on top of your document or the keyboard shortcut Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + K
  • Chose different output formats to knit to by clicking on the little black arrow next to the Knit button
    • If you get an error with one of those, let me know and send me a screenshot of the error message you get.
