1 RMarkdown
3 elements:

 YAML header: body of the document where everything, surrounded by ---

Options: author, date, output format, table of content, themes, code folding, ...
 Text: body core, essential for explaining the analysis, syntax:
o emphasis (*italics*, **bold**, or `code style`)
o headers (# ## ###)
o lists (* - + for unnumbered and 1. for numbered)
o hyperlinks (<> ()[])
o blockquotes (>)
o picture/gif ( !()[])
o tables (usually better to use knitr::kable())
o Latex using the syntax $math expression$  see mathpix
o Cross-referencing sections using syntax \@ref(label)
o Citations and bibliographies can automatically be generated with RMarkdow
 Code chunks:
Code chunks are specific to RMarkdown. It allows to embed R code within your document
To insert these chunks within your RMarkdown file, use either:
o the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + I
o the Add Chunk command in the editor toolbar
o by typing the chunk delimiters ```{r label, some option} and ```
 eval: (TRUE; logical) whether to evaluate the code chunk;
 echo: (TRUE; logical or numeric) whether to include R code in the output file;
 warning: (TRUE; logical) whether to preserve warnings (produced by warning()) in
the output like we run R code in a terminal (if FALSE, all warnings will be printed in the
console instead of the output document);
 cache: (FALSE; logical) whether to "cache" a code chunk.
It may be convenient to avoid re-running the computations and save time.
 dependson: (label) allows to refer to objects in other chunk.
Plot figure options:
 fig.path: ('figure/'; character) prefix to be used for figure filenames (fig.path
and chunk labels are concatenated to make filenames);
 fig.show: ('asis'; character) how to show/arrange the plots;
 fig.width, fig.height: (both are 7; numeric) width and height of the plot, to be used
in the graphics device (in inches) and have to be numeric;
 fig.align: ('default'; character) alignment of figures in the output document
(possible values are left, right and center;
 fig.cap: (NULL; character) figure caption to be used in a figure environment.
