Chapter 3 Equations and direct quotes
This section will focus on equations and direct quotes
3.1 Equations
You need to include equations with some LaTeX. The easiest way to do this is to use an online tool such as: https://latex.codecogs.com/eqneditor/editor.php. It can be a real pain to get these right, but once you’ve worked it out it will be much easier than dealing with word equation editor.
\[\begin{equation} p= h\frac{c}{\varrho} \tag{3.1} \end{equation}\]
To reference this in the text we use: (3.1)
You can also test your code in your RMarkdown document using $ e.g. \[p= h\frac{c}{\varrho}\]
However, this won’t generate an equation number and you can’t cross reference it. But we can use this logic to define the parameters within the equation e.g. where \(h\) is Plank’s constant, \(6.626 × 10^-34 Js\)
$$ puts it on a new line, single $ keeps it on the same line (in the text)
3.2 Block quotes (or direct quotes)
You may wish to quote a large section from a source, to do this use a block quote.
Simply input a > before the text. For example > This is a quote.
“This is a direct quote”
You can also provide an attribution at the footer of the quote using tufte::quote_footer(), either a name or a reference. You’ll need to install the tufte package to use this. For example, > [include only r here] tufte::quote_footer('--- Joe Martin') or > [include only r here] tufte::quote_footer('--- @xie2015')

Instead you could just include the reference at the end of the quote, using the same method to reference as we’ve seen before..e.g. > "This is a direct quote" @xie2015, Equation \@ref(eq:test)…giving
