Getting help

There are two main places to get help:

1. The RStudio
   community is a
   friendly place to ask any questions about rmarkdown and the R
   Markdown family of packages. Use tag tufte in your post.

2. Stack
   Overflow
   is a great source of answers to common rmarkdown questions. It is
   also a great place to get help, once you have created a reproducible
   example that illustrates your problem.
