Basically, this is how to use `noteMD` to insert a text box in your shiny ui (support markdown syntax) to pdf or word report!

* Step 1: create a textarea in shiny ui:

`                  tags$textarea(

                    "Please using any **markdown** syntax!",

                    id    = 'markdowninput',

                    rows  = 3,

                    style = 'width:100%;')`, here we know the id of this tag is `markdowninput` (you can name whatever you want)

* Step 2: if you want to have a preview in shiny app like the demo, use    `output$htmlmarkdown = reactive({note_in_html(input$markdowninput) }) ` , then `htmlOutput('htmlmarkdown')` in shiny ui

* Step 3: if your report is in pdf, put `note_in_md_pdf(input$markdowninput)` in an R chunk (whereever you want to insert the text); if your report is in word, put `note_in_md_word(input$markdowninput)` in an R chunk! 

Future improvements:

* Support math formula writting

Enjoy!
