How do you create a .Rnw file, in R or LaTex? I don't think any tutorial mentions it.
btw, I am very new to the terms like markdown, so I don't understand "markdown to HTML". I am reading here http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/Main/KnitrHowto that you need to compile at terminal. I do not know terminal, is there other ways? Could you do a video on just "simple" R? I have seen 3 videos on R Studio including yours.
