This post examines the features of [R Markdown](http://www.rstudio.org/docs/authoring/using_markdown) 
using [knitr](http://yihui.name/knitr/) in Rstudio 0.96.
This combination of tools provides an exciting improvement in usability for 
[reproducible analysis](http://stats.stackexchange.com/a/15006/183).
Specifically, this post 
(1) discusses getting started with R Markdown and `knitr` in  Rstudio 0.96;
(2) provides a basic example of producing console output and plots using R Markdown;
(3) highlights several code chunk options such as caching and controlling how input and output is displayed;
(4) demonstrates use of standard Markdown notation as well as the extended features of formulas and tables; and 
(5) discusses the implications of R Markdown.

### This version strips unicode characters from the downloaded script

# This script downloads and opens a Gist from a URL in the clipboard.
# It's meant to be put in the editor's actions menu.

# It works with "raw" and "web" gist URLs, but not with gists that

# Airport toggling based on a script by nomadcoder:
# Toggle WiFi: https://github.com/nomadcoder/launchbar-scripts/blob/master/Toggle%20WiFi.applescript
#
# The purpose of this script is to check to see whether the wifi connection can reach the
# internet and if unsuccessful restarts the wifi connection.
#
# I personally run it every 30 seconds as a launchd job.

# Fetch the name of your AirPort Device
set airPortDevice to do shell script "/usr/sbin/networksetup -listallhardwareports | awk '{if($3==\"Wi-Fi\"){getline;print}}' | awk '{print $2}'"
