How to make part of rmarkdown document without section numbering?

问题

I have an rmarkdown document (.Rmd) that I want to knit into a pdf document. number_sections has been put to 'yes' and toc to 'true'. How can I add appendix sections that appear in the table of contents but don't have a section number?

Here is an example .Rmd code. How can I let appendix A and appendix B be numberless sections and let them appear in the table of contents at the same time?

# start

# second

```{r results="asis",eval=TRUE,echo=FALSE,message=FALSE, error=FALSE, warning=FALSE, comment = NA,fig.height=4}
cat("and here some R")
```

# appendix A

# appandix B

回答1:

Just add {-} after the section name. Thus, for your appendices, you should do something like:

# appendix A {-}

# appendix B {-}

For more details, see this section of the docs.
