R Markdown not being detected

In my repository, the above file is in the main branch. However, it is still not being represented in the languages section. I checked the languages available in the linguist and Rmarkdown is indicated with qmd and rmd as accepted extensions. Thank You.

This is expected. RMarkdown, like traditional Markdown, is considered as prose:

linguist/lib/linguist/languages.yml

Lines 5953 to 5954 in 63cfd70

	RMarkdown:
	type: prose

... so not included in the stats by default as documented:

linguist/docs/how-linguist-works.md

Line 5 in 63cfd70

Linguist starts by going through all the files in a repository and excludes all files that it determines to be binary data, [vendored code](/docs/overrides.md#vendored-code), [generated code](/docs/overrides.md#generated-code), [documentation](/docs/overrides.md#documentation), or are defined as `data` (e.g. SQL) or `prose` (e.g. Markdown) languages, whilst taking into account any [overrides](/docs/overrides.md).

If you want it to count, you'll need to use an override.
