This sort of enhanced link might be one of the useful things to put in a `README.md` or other Markdown file in the repo.

Sometimes including HTML files will cause GitHub to think that your R repository is HTML. Besides being slightly annoying, this can make it difficult for people to find your work if they are searching specifically for R repos. You can exclude these files or directories from GitHub's language statistics by [adding a .gitattributes file](https://github.com/github/linguist#using-gitattributes) that marks them as 'documentation' rather than code. [See an example here](https://github.com/jennybc/googlesheets/blob/master/.gitattributes).
