How to make part of rmarkdown document without section numbering? - r

Question

I have an rmarkdown document (.Rmd) that I want to knit into a pdf document. number_sections has been put to 'yes' and toc to 'true'. How can I add appendix sections that appear in the table of contents but don't have a section number?
Here is an example .Rmd code. How can I let appendix A and appendix B be numberless sections and let them appear in the table of contents at the same time?

Answer 1

Just add {-} after the section name. Thus, for your appendices, you should do something like:
# appendix A {-}
# appendix B {-}
