    Can you expand regarding what Rstudio is, exactly? And is Rmarkdown a plugin for it? An extension of it? Commented Jun 8, 2021 at 19:03
  • Too long for a comment, but basically Rstudio is an IDE thought primarily to help with R programming, but it is also a markdown/LaTeX/HTML editor and much more. Need R and some R packages, pandoc, and LaTeX in the background, but the installation of all of this is not at all as difficult as messing with the plugins of another famous editors.

  • It is not worth elaborating here the features of Rstudio since there are tons of info about out there (even in Wikipedia). My suggestion is just go to the official page and test it (the personal version is free). For a rmarkdown document is File > New File > R Markdown > (choose options) > OK > (edit as you want) > knit > choose HTML, PDF or Word output and see the result. Commented Jun 8, 2021 at 20:07
