Code Formatting

Syntax

In Markdown inline code can be formatted with backticks `code`

code

and multi line code can be done with fenced code areas

```
Multi
line
code
```

when you want to display code inline is one back tick

`incline`

when you want to show the backticks in formatted code its 2 backticks

`` some `code` in line with backticks``

when you want to display a code fenced block including back ticks you sandwich the 3 backtick code fence inside of a 4 backtick fence:

````
```
code fence
```
````

and to keep showing more levels of backtick sandwiches just keep increasing the amount of backticks, the code for the above image is:

RMarkdown

in rmarkdown you can have r code executed inline with the following syntax:

`r mean(5,10)`

In Rmarkdown the fenced code chunks have a slightly different syntax to allow for control options and meta-processing options:

```r{ control_option}
x <- 7
```
