# **R Markdown** ### *Dynamic Documents for R* {style="padding-top: 0px;"} R Markdown is an authoring format that enables easy creation of dynamic documents, presentations, and reports from R. It combines the core syntax of [markdown](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) (an easy to write plain text format) with embedded R code chunks that are run so their output can be included in the final document. R Markdown documents are fully reproducible (they can be automatically regenerated whenever underlying R code or data changes). R Markdown has many available output formats including [HTML](http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/html_document_format.html), [PDF](http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/pdf_document_format.html), [MS Word](http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/word_document_format.html), [Beamer](http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/beamer_presentation_format.html), [HTML5 slides](http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/ioslides_presentation_format.html), [Tufte handouts](http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/tufte_handout_format.html), [books](https://bookdown.org), [dashboards](http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/flexdashboard/), and [websites](http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/rmarkdown_websites.html).
