Chapter 9 Appendix
9.1 Markdown
This is a sample book written in Markdown. You can use anything that Pandoc’s Markdown supports, e.g., a math equation \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\).
9.2 Bookdown
The bookdown package can be installed from CRAN or Github:
Remember each Rmd file contains one and only one chapter, and a chapter is defined by the first-level heading #.
You can label chapter and section titles using {#label} after them, e.g., we can reference Chapter 1.
Figures and tables with captions will be placed in figure and table environments, respectively.
Figure 9.1: Here is a nice figure!
Reference a figure by its code chunk label with the fig: prefix, e.g., see Figure 9.1. Similarly, you can reference tables generated from knitr::kable(), e.g., see Table 9.1.

You can write citations, too. For example, we are using the bookdown package (Xie 2020) in this sample book, which was built on top of R Markdown and knitr (Xie 2015).
9.3 Tinytex
To compile this example to PDF, you need XeLaTeX. You are recommended to install TinyTeX (which includes XeLaTeX): https://yihui.name/tinytex/.
You can install and integrate TinyTex with R with the help of the tinytex package. It installs TinyTex and some basic tex libraries from CTAN that are required for
