# Markdown Basics
This is plain text. Empty lines are interpreted as new paragraphs. Single newlines
are ignored by the markdown renderer.
## Code Samples
If you'd like to include code samples in your markdown, indent each line with
at least 4 spaces or a tab. Here's a hello world in R, for example.
print ("hello, world!", quote = FALSE)
print ("some more text")
## Emphasis
**For bold text, use two asterisks**. *For italics, use one*.
## Lists
Use an asterisk before each list item on a newline for unordered lists:
* this is a
* list
To produce an ordered list, use a number before each list item. Any number
will do. Markdown ignores the number prefix you provide and counts the list
items itself.
1. this is an ordered

## And here's our hello world R program
[triple backtick `]{r}
print ("hello, world!", quote = FALSE)
print ("some more text")
