I am aware that R Markdown cannot reference data within your global environment unless they are part of your R Markdown script (see this question: How to use objects from global environment in Rstudio Markdown).
However, I'm confused why Markdown does not add data to my global environment when I knit the Markdown document. For example, I can specify x<- 75, y<- 200, then calculate x+y in my Markdown, and all of these elements will run and display in my knitted R Markdown document. But none of them get added to my global environment. Is this intentional? Is there any way around it?
I am working in RStudio.
