Recent versions of rmarkdown and pandoc In more recent versions of rmarkdown, the settings of margins can be done in the YAML header via the top-level element geometry. What you specify in the geometry tag will be piped into the LaTeX template that ships with Pandoc via the following LaTeX snippet $if(geometry)$ \usepackage[$for(geometry)$$geometry$$sep$,$endfor$]{geometry} $endif$ For … Read more
Use the following code and you get a working version “`{r, results=”asis”} stargazer(model) “` When converting to pdf, the following code works perfectly for stargazer 4.0: “`{r, results=”asis”} stargazer(model, header=FALSE, type=”latex”) “`
Basic Script So now that the R markdown package has been released, here is some code to replicate the features of Knit to Html. require(knitr) # required for knitting from rmd to md require(markdown) # required for md to html knit(‘test.rmd’, ‘test.md’) # creates md file markdownToHTML(‘test.md’, ‘test.html’) # creates html file browseURL(paste(‘file://’, file.path(getwd(),’test.html’), sep=”)) … Read more

Relying on objects created outside the document makes your document less reproducible–that is, if your document needs data in the global environment, you can’t just give someone (or yourself in two years) the document and data files and let them recreate it themselves.

Note well: you will need two spaces in front of the \n new line character to get knitr to properly render the markdown in the presence of a plot out. … Read more
So, pandoc does not parse the content of latex environments, but you can fool it by redefining the commands in your header.tex file: \usepackage{lscape} \newcommand{\blandscape}{\begin{landscape}} \newcommand{\elandscape}{\end{landscape}} Thus, here \begin{landscape} is redefined to \blandscape, and \end{landscape} to \elandscape. Using those newly defined command in the .Rmd file seems to work: — title: “Mixing portrait and landscape” … Read more
I’m pretty sure you were using Sweave instead of knitr. If you were using RStudio (you did not say it but I guess so), you need to change the global option (or project option) to knitr:
Short Answer In most cases, opts_knit$get(“rmarkdown.pandoc.to”) delivers the required information. Otherwise, query rmarkdown::all_output_formats(knitr::current_input()) and check if the return value contains word_document: if (“word_document” %in% rmarkdown::all_output_formats(knitr::current_input()) { # Word output } Long answer I assume that the source document is RMD because this is the usual/most common input format for knitting to different output formats such … Read more
