.Rmd figures do not show up

[JAQuent]

I am currently trying to set-up a new website using this theme but I have issues with getting the figures that are generated to show up as can be seen here https://jaquent.github.io/post/2023-02-03-test-plot/ the plot that is supposed to be under the r-chunk is not visible.

I am using blogdown_1.16 in R to generate the site.

When looking at the hmtl source code there doesn't even seem to be any image there. What am I doing wrong? Relatedly, suppose I create a new post via creating a markdown file directly, where would the images for that post have be so that it would work?

Here is the code:

---

date: '2023-02-03'
slug: []
categories: []

lastmod: '2023-02-03T17:55:47+08:00'

<!--more-->

\```{r}
plot(rnorm(10), rnorm(10))
\```

I've added \ before the chunk otherwise I wouldn't be displayed right here.
