<p>It is exciting for us to see the amazing growth of the R Markdown ecosystem over the four years since the creation of R Markdown in 2014. Now you can author many types of documents, and build a wide range of applications based on R Markdown. As an effort to unite and improve the documentation of the R Markdown base package (<strong>rmarkdown</strong>) and several other extensions (such as <strong>bookdown</strong>, <strong>blogdown</strong>, <strong>pkgdown</strong>, <strong>flexdashboard</strong>, <strong>tufte</strong>, <strong>xaringan</strong>, <strong>rticles</strong>, and <strong>learnr</strong>) in one place, we authored a book titled “<em>R Markdown: The Definitive Guide</em>”, which is to be published by Chapman &amp; Hall/CRC in about two weeks.</p>
