Create a homework report

In the homework repositories following Homework 02 you are to create reports in quarto yourself.

These are suggestions how you create such a report.

In RStudio select “New File” -> “Quarto Document…” to create a new .qmd-file.
In Visual Studio Code “New File…” and then type “quarto” and select “Quarto Document Quarto” to create a new .qmd-file.

1 YAML

A useful YAML header for a homework report is

---
title: "Homework 02"
format:   
  html:                     
    standalone: true        # quarto will render to a html-file with a header 
                            # and all css and javascript included (no extra directory with files for these needed)
    embed-resources: true   # The html will also embed all figures you produce 
                            # (no extra directory with files for these needed)
    code-fold: true         # Code does not appear visually in the report, but can be "folded out"
    number-sections: true   # Usually you want to number the sections in a report
    toc : true              # Table of contents make navigation in longer files easier
---

Writing in a jupyter notebook (.ipynb)

Instead of a .qmd file you can also write in a jupyter notebook (.ipynb) and render this file with quarto. To that end you start your notebook with the YAML header above in a raw cell.

2 After the YAML

Typically, you have a chunk loading your packages directly after the YAML header.

This is for an R report:

```{r}
#| label: load-packages  
library(tidyverse) # You always need the tidyverse

# More helpful packages 
library(patchwork) # for combining plots
```

3 Structuring your report

Make headers with # and maybe ## for second level headers.
