When I make a code block in R markdown starting with an indent character the code block loses options. For example, I make my code block with greater than sign as the first character
"> ```{r }"
Then R Studio no longer offers all the code block options like:
- chunk options
- run all code up to a certain point
- syntax highlighting
- code completion
The actual code is run correctly and PDFs show the code as indented but the R Studio parser does not appear to recognize it as code.
