Hi Kevin, You should be able to do what you want directly from the `.Rmd` buffer. I posted a tutorial here:
https://plantarum.ca/2021/10/03/emacs-tutorial-rmarkdown/ With the right packages installed, from the .Rmd buffer you can export your file with `M-n e`, select `markdown` and `html` when prompted, and the html will be generated and opened in a web browser. The tutorial walks you through the steps in more detail.
