I need my code block to look like this -
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE
/* *******************
* my comment block
* *******************/
my_package AS
However, when I hit use format code option in TOAD, the formatted output I get looks like this -
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE /* *******************
* my comment block
* *******************/
my_package AS
I couldn't find the option specific to this particular formatting setting in View->Formatting Options. Can anyone point out the setting that lets me keep my comment block aligned to left?
[I am using TOAD for Oracle 10.6.1.3]
This appears to be a bug! Please report it to them or at least add your example to that post on Toad World. I have found bugs and they were real quick to jump on them.

Using the default Xaringan CSS, if $math$ is placed in a footnote, it appears to be rendered as inline code, rather than rendering as math. I was not able to find information about this - is this just a natural limitation in Xaringan or remark.js? Or perhaps I am doing something wrong?
See basic example below:
# A Test
- This is a test<sup>1</sup>
.footnote[<sup>1</sup> This includes $\delta+\frac{2}{3}$ math.]
This will render the math between the $$ as if it were between backticks.
[UPDATE 17/12/2019] Another way to circumvent this is to replace the maths expression $\delta+\frac{2}{3}$ with \(\delta+\frac{2}{3}\) which bypasses any need for remark.js to convert $ and thus avoiding the bug there.
Yes I noticed this too. I think somehow remark.js is interfering with mathjax but I don't really know. To get around this I use the html code directly instead. So below should work:
# A Test
- This is a test<sup>1</sup>
<span class="footnote"><sup>1</sup> This includes $\delta+\frac{2}{3}$ math.</span>
[UPDATE]
The explanation of why this happens can be found here. TL;DR: remark.js removes the brackets necessary for mathjax to detect the maths.
Yihui also provided an alternate hack if the use of .footnote[] is desirable which involves adding the brackets to the inline math code:
.footnote[<sup>1</sup> This includes `\\(\delta+\frac{2}{3}\\)` math.]
I am new to R, and despite searching the forums I have been unable to find a solution to indenting code within both the Source window and Document Outline (Ctrl+Shift+O).
An example is shown below.
Ideally, I would want the code to function as below when pressing Alt+O
This function does seem to be implemented in some fashion as you get the indented code with functions but this is less than ideal.
# Section 1 -----------------------------------------------------------
function(x) {
# Section 1A ===========================================================
}
Has anyone found a work-around to implement this?
Not a fix but a workaround:
Any whitespace after a "." is included in the heading, so a "." followed by a tab or space can be used to create indented headers preceded by a ".".
# Section title ---------------------------------------------------------------
# . Subsection A --------------------------------------------------------------
# . . A.1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Would still be nice to see this implemented the way it is in R markdown, but in the mean time might make it easier to navigate scripts using sub-headers.

For what it's worth, this sort of nested indent is implemented for Markdown sections (for e.g. R Markdown documents), e.g.
However, this sort of nested is not implemented for sections in plain R scripts. You might consider filing this as a feature request for the RStudio team.
Thanks #Foztarz I posted this as an issue about a year ago on the GitHub. They claimed it was a worthy enhancement but they keep pushing it to the next version of RStudio lol. My work-around was similar. I used Alt codes to insert symbols I found a bit more visually appealing over .
# ▬ Section A ------
# ▐ ▬ Section A.1-----------
Here's what it looks like inside RStudio
Two additions:
Box-drawing characters look much better than the characters mentioned in https://stackoverflow.com/a/63812437/13776976 #Patricks answer
From RStudio 1.4 on, you can indicate sub-sections by additional '#' at the start of the line, see RStudio How To Article
I really like RStudio's code sections because they help me keep my code organized and makes navigation very easy. So, the code/comment line for code sections look like this (the key for RStudio to recognize the code section is that the comment should end with four or more #, - or =).
# Section One ---------------------------------
# Section Two =================================
### Section Three #############################
Now, I also find very useful "Compiling Notebooks from R Scripts" because you can produce reports directly from your script (which I find much more comfortable working with) without having to write an RMarkdown document. You simply have to use roxygen2-style comments (using #' as prefix) and they will be converted to markdown and/or use #+ or #- prefixes to control RMarkdown chunk options.
Now, I want the best of both worlds but I cannot find a way to get it. I want to have code sections (recognizable for RStudio) in the report (with the proper markdown for headings #, but without the extra #### at the end of the line). Seems like an impossible task to me. If I use #' prefix, I get the section in the report but RStudio does not recognize it as a code section. If I do not use roxygen2-style comments, RStudio recognizes the code section but it does not appear in the report (ok, it appears but as an ugly comment in the formatted code). The best solution I have found so far is to use the #+ prefix and simulate a code chunk label. That way I can get RStudio to recognize it as a code section, and it does not appear in the report as an ugly comment.
Any ideas on how to do this better?
This is my first time using R so this is about as basic of a question as they come.
I am making a presentation using markdown (ioslides). I want to do something very simple which is to put something in superscript. According to the manual, the syntax is the following:
Lower bound = α^Full – K^ - α^Full^
The first time I tried running this, I got a pop-up screen with some options. Too quickly, I pressed enter and inadvertently chose something. Now the syntax won't run and I can't figure out what I did to undo it.
Can someone help? Thank you in advance.
Markdown allows HTML to be used if necessary, so you should be able to use the HTML sup tag.
Right alignment comes handy for letter addresses. Unfortunately, according to the author John MacFarlane:
The pandoc document model does not allow for alignment other than in tables, so the alignment information is simply ignored.
We can resort to raw LaTeX.
Upon trial and error (and googling) I found that this TeX syntax works as intended:
\rightline{Address 1}
\rightline{Address 2}
\rightline{etc}
Also the LaTeX equivalent does:
\begin{flushright}
Address 1\\
Address 2\\
etc
\end{flushright}
The less invasive syntax, based on the LaTeX command raggedleft, unfortunately does not work:
{\raggedleft
Address 1\\
Address 2\\
etc\\
}
This is because braces are passed verbatim (\{, \}) and not as raw LaTeX.
With reference to centre alignment, I found a user claiming that markdown supports this native (beautiful) syntax:
-> This is center align <-
but I didn't find an editor/converter supporting it.
Indeed my working examples are all against the John Gruber markdown philosophy:
A Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it’s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions.
Can you find a better way?
Particularly is it possible to simply write a Pandoc template to redefine the alignment of a header, say: ###### Right aligned?
For those that are looking for a similar question here's how to left align/right align on the same line:
**Some bolded text** **\hfill some right aligned on same line bolded text**
You'll have to imagine the result since I'm not sure how to recreate it on SO.
The best way to handle this is to put the address in a YAML metadata block (supported by pandoc 1.12+), and do the alignment in a custom template. Then your source document will be clean, without raw LaTeX, and you can modify templates to get the desired look in any output format.
Source document could look like this:
---
address:
| 23 Main St.
| Somewhere, MT 23434
...
Dear so and so,
Then in your LaTeX template you'd have something like:
\begin{flushright}
$address$
\end{flushright}
If you're writing a letter, though, it would probably be better to write a template using the LaTeX letter class.
