This episode demonstrates all the features that can be used when writing a
lesson in RMarkdown.
This first chunk is really important, and should be included in all markdown lessons.
The rest of the lesson should be written as a normal RMarkdown file. You can
include chunk for codes, just like you'd normally do:
Normal output:
~~~
[1] 2
~~~
{: .output}
Output with error message:
~~~
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos): object 'x' not found
~~~
{: .error}
Output generating figures:
~~~
Warning: package 'ggplot2' was built under R version 3.1.3
~~~
{: .error}
ggplot(diamonds, aes(x = carat, y = price, color = cut)) +
geom_point()
~~~

For the challenges and their solutions, you need to pay attention to the where
the `>` go and where to leave blank lines. Otherwise, you can include chunks in
it to include instructions and solutions.
