What is it about
R Markdown is a handy scripting language allowing for easy organisation of your R code and presentation in the form of a notebook. Code is split into functional chunks, plots are presented within the text and it is possible to render the code into easy to read documents such as in html, pdf or word format (to mention just a few). This tutorial will aim to take you through the basics of R Markdown, showing you how to get started, how to build code chunks, how to format the text and how to render your text to other file formats.

When and where

We will meet on the 26th of June from 17:30 to 19:00 in Room ZG21 in the Zoology Building.

How to prepare

All you need is a laptop with R Studio installed (you can download it here). This will need the package “rmarkdown” to be installed as follows:
install.packages(“rmarkdown”)

Hope to see you there!
