In Exercise 1 we talk about the RStudio files pane, and then show the directory structure in the Windows file manager. I wonder if we should have that as either a screenshot of the RStudio file pane or a text-based depiction like the output of tree.

Hi Philip,

Based on our conversations at the ANNE conference, I thought we could add an additional exercise to cover...

• Adding assertions within RMarkdown documents to prevent a drift between narrative and data (e.g. when a year-on-year increase becomes a decrease).
• Constructing text in a narrative conditional on the data.

I propose this become Exercise 8, rather than making Exercise 5 more complex.

Welcome your thoughts before I embark on this.

Best wishes,
Matt
