After I worked with R in the past and starting playing around with R Studio Cloud recently, I thought it would be a good idea to actually read some books about it. And, as this specific book suggested, make some notes and follow examples in a Markdown Notebook, that can be easily published as an html-file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And low and behold, I can just save that file and upload it here, so that I just need to click once and see the same document. Very cool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
