Hi, I’ve been using R for a while, and just started to use R markdown and notebook in R studio.
Recently I found this feature (maybe a bug ?) and want to know whether this is a special problem existing only on my computer.
Problem:
When using R markdown or notebook, the outline panel's indentation follows some strange rule rather than the number of hashes (#).
Reproducible Example:
- Open a new rmd file, remove all chunks and text loaded automatically and type the following text. I found that the right outline panel's indentation doesn't work as expected.
That is, 【## sub title 1】and 【##sub title 2】are NOT indented.
reproducible code:
# big title 1
## sub title 1
## sub title 2
- However, if I add 【# title 2】 below, the indentation of outline works.
reproducible code:
# big title 1
## sub title 1
## sub title 2
# big title 2
- One more example:
If I create smaller header in the beginning, outline indentation seems to follow the format of the first header, 【### small title 1】, so only the 【#### sub title 3】 is indented while 【# big title 1】 is not.
reproducible code:
### small title 1
# big title 1
## sub title 1
### sub title 2
#### sub title 3
# big title 2
Sorry for few example images in this post because I'm restricted by this forum (I just created my account)
Is this a “feature” of Rmd ? This makes it hard to navigate long code via outline panel if one forgets to format first few headers well.
Any solution is welcome, thanks.
