I want it to just display the code but not the results. It does this, but the formatting is very different from what I am expecting. It does this both in my local host and on the internet. What should I do?
Note that I am doing this in a blogdown .Rmarkdown file. This actually seems to be the problem. I tried the same code snippet outside of the blogdown project, and it worked just fine.
Another thing I learned is that if I do it with an .Rmd file (to .html) it works, so it is something to do with the .Rmarkdown (to .markdown) that doesn't work.
See this section of the docs for an explanation of differences between Rmd and Rmarkdown. What appears to be happening from the screen image is the choice of a dark Hugo theme Try running blogdown::check_site() to see what options are set.
Thank you very much, technocrat. That makes sense. I tried running blogdown::check_site(), but did not find the options. Would I find them in the css file?
You should have seen something like this (for a fresh site)

Here is what mine says. But I do not see any output about options relating to a dark Hugo theme (or I am missing it if it is there).

Look under your blogdown directory for a folder called themes, which should have theme_toml with layout like
# theme.toml template for a Hugo theme
# See https://github.com/spf13/hugoThemes#themetoml for an example
name = "Lithium"
license = "MIT"
licenselink = "https://github.com/jrutheiser/hugo-lithium-theme/blob/master/LICENSE.md"
description = "Lithium minimal theme"
homepage = "https://github.com/jrutheiser/hugo-lithium-theme"
tags = ["blog"]
features = ["blog", "google analytics"]
min_version = 0.15
[author]
name = "Jonathan Rutheiser"
homepage = "http://jrutheiser.com/"
Try a new site taking the RStudio defaults, which will give you the lithium theme, and see if you like it any better. Unless you want to spend a lot of time digging into theme construction, it's better to pick one and stay with it rather than trying to tweak.
When doing Rmd -> HTML, usual rmarkdown conversion happens using Pandoc, and the syntax highlighting will be done either by Pandoc or by highlightjs depending on the option sets
When doing Rmarkdown to .markdown, the HTML will be rendered by HUGO (using Goldmark so not using pandoc) directly and the syntax highlighter will be the one from this Hugo renderer. This means that the Hugo config can change the way it looks.
So depending on your site, on your theme, on your configuration you could get different results. You need to configure correctly depending on how you want it to render and get highlighted, and what the theme you are using is supporting.
You can seatch the web for blogdown and syntax highlighting, + Hugo and syntax highlighting.
