Welcome!

This is a minimal example of a book based on R Markdown and bookdown (https://github.com/rstudio/bookdown).

This template provides a skeleton file structure that you can edit to create your book. It is built on six chapters, which correspond to five R Markdown documents: 01-abstract.Rmd, 02-intro.Rmd, 03-methods.Rmd, 04-results.Rmd, 05-discussion.Rmd, 06-references. Note: 1) there's also an index.Rmd file that is also a required script for a bookdown document. 2) the References document is auto-populated using information from .bib files in your folder when the book is created. So you generally can leave 06-references.Rmd unedited.

You can change some of the configuration options for this html book document by editing _bookdown.yml. This webpage provides information on what fields to add and edit.
