R Markdown Cookbook cover

This new book written by the developers of R Markdown is an essential reference that will help users learn and make full use of the software.

Those new to R Markdown will appreciate the short, practical examples that address the most common issues users encounter. Frequent users will also benefit from the wide ranging tips and tricks that expose ‘hidden’ features, support customization and demonstrate the many new and varied applications of the software.

After reading this book users will learn how to:

  • Enhance your R Markdown content with diagrams, citations, and dynamically generated text
  • Streamline your workflow with child documents, code chunk references, and caching
  • Control the formatting and layout with Pandoc markdown syntax or by writing custom HTML and LaTeX templates
  • Utilize chunk options and hooks to fine-tune how your code is processed
  • Switch between different language engineers to seamlessly incorporate python, D3, and more into your analysis

"This book will be a popular addition on the desk of many professionals who regularly produce technical documents in the R language."
~Carl Boettiger, University of California, Berkeley

"Novices will benefit from reading this book because they will quickly find high quality solutions to the most common issues that users encounter. Experts will benefit because it will save them from constantly trying to rediscover ‘that thread that explains how to do that one thing.’"
~ Dr. John Blischak, University of Chicago

"Though I am a frequent and longtime user of RMarkdown, there were multiple points where I learned new things and capabilities that I’d never seen. Sometimes incredible features are ‘hidden"; this book eposes features and tricks that this seasoned RMarkdown user was surprised and excited by."
~ Sharla Gelfand, R and Shiny Developer

"This book is useful for R stats users who, while using RMarkdown, come across certain problems that can be solved. It also provides advanced users with additional options to further customize RMarkdown to their personal needs. The many subchapters address a number of issues that a large majority of users can use as a reference book for their needs. There are examples for every user, no matter what previous knowledge is available and therefore this book is useful for any user group of markdown."
~Dr. Johannes Friedrich

"This book is interesting for a wide level of RMarkdown users."
~MSc. Yasumoto, Atsushi, HACARUS Inc.


'This book is an excellent resource for promoting the applications of R software. This book can be used more as a reference book for R Markdown and should find a place on the library shelves.'

- Shalabh, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, August 2021 https://doi.org/10.1111/rssa.12743

'The book covers an enormous terrain: not only straightforward use with R, but also with other languages and system like Python, SAS and Stata. Specialized output to LaTeX and custom CSS-styled HTML is also covered. Typesetting beautiful tables is described extensively. And if you want to send emails from R, you will find the instructions here. This is a good cookbook, with many delicious recipes, from simple snacks to gourmet style dishes.'
