Hi,
I'm writing an R Markdown document about a data analysis I'm doing. The data are described by two readme files. The first one is very short, so I just use the citation formatting. The second is much longer, and contains a numbered list, so I decided to use italic instead than citation. However, italic seems not to play well with lists:
---
title: "foo"
subtitle: "Andrea"
author: "`r Sys.Date()`"
date: "_reading time: 5 minutes_"
output: rmarkdown::html_vignette
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
library(knitr)
opts_chunk$set(warning = FALSE,
message = FALSE,
echo = FALSE,
fig.align = "center",
fig.width = 7.25,
fig.height = 6)
```
## Read data
A `readme.txt` file is provided with the data, containing the following information which clarifies the data format:
_yadayadaya_
_lorem ipsum_
_The data are provided as a zip-compressed text file with 26 columns of numbers, separated by spaces. Each row is a snapshot of data taken during a single operational cycle, each column is a different variable. The columns correspond to:_
_1. unit number
2. time, in cycles
3. operational setting 1
4. operational setting 2
5. operational setting 3
6. sensor measurement 1
7. sensor measurement 2
.
.
.
26. sensor measurement_
If you render this file, you'll see that the list is not rendered as, well, a list. Also, is there a way to include empty list items in a list, and skip directly to item 26 in my case? Of course, the dots I used don't achieve the goal.
