```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE) # Hides code by default
```

# Introduction

Note that the setup chunk above is not visible in 
the final document since the chunk option `include=FALSE`. In this setup 
chunk we set the default value for the option `echo` to `FALSE`, meaning that
code is hidden by default.

Also check out the header, in which we explicitly set `title`, `date`, and 
`author` - the result of this can be seen in the rendered document. To comply 
with the respective tasks we added the specifications 
`toc: true` and `toc_float: true` to the `html_document` to add the 
floating table of contents, and `code_download: true` to add the code 
download button.
To the `pdf_document` call we only added `toc: true` to get the table of 
contents.


## A second level heading

Again some text. Here is the first chunk. 
The code is shown in the rendered document because we set the chunk option
`echo=TRUE`, and so is the output produced by the code because the chunk 
option `include` is set the `TRUE` by default:

```{r, echo=TRUE}
vector_random_numbers <- rnorm(
  n = 12, mean = 5, sd = 2)
vector_random_numbers
```

## A visualization

Here we produce the desired ggplot (the code for which remains hidden because
we did not deviate from the default value of `echo`, which we set to `FALSE`
in the setup chunk.)

# Using Netlify Drop

The document was published using [Netlify Drop](https://app.netlify.com/drop), 
as explained in the slides.
This is the reason the file is called `index.Rmd`: Netlify Drop only works if
a `html`-file called `index.html` is included in the uploaded directory.
