Make File in R

This is the tutorial for my makefile for r, My makefile is as follows:

all: gapminder

gapminder:
	Rscript -e "knitr::knit('gapminder.Rmd');/
  rmarkdown::render('gapminder.Rmd','html_document')"

clean:
	rm -rf *.md
	rm -rf *.html

What this makefile does is call the knit package on my gapminder.Rmd file and then call the rmarkdown::render() function on my file to knit the file and render it to .html

You can find the link to that html here!

In order to format the page to look nice I lie a bit in how my code is represented to the viewer.

By default all plots are left aligned but I wanted my plots to all be centered but wrapping a <center> tag around an r section also centers the code in that section so all of the plots are actually called like.

    ```{r, eval = FALSE}
    ggplotly(gapminder.gg)
    ```
    ```{r}
    <center>
    ```{r, echo = FALSE}
    ggplotly(gapminder.gg + xlab(""))  %>% layout(xaxis = list(title = "Year"))
    ```
    </center>

Sometimes I even added extra flourish like above to coax the graph into looking how I wanted it to appear.
