1 Prerequisites
This is a sample book written in Markdown. You can use anything that Pandoc’s Markdown supports, e.g., a math equation a2 + b2 = c2.
The bookdown package can be installed from CRAN or Github:
install.packages("bookdown")
# or the development version
# devtools::install_github("rstudio/bookdown")
Remember each Rmd file contains one and only one chapter, and a chapter is defined by the first-level heading #
.
To compile this example to PDF, you need XeLaTeX. You are recommended to install TinyTeX (which includes XeLaTeX): https://yihui.org/tinytex/.
