Creating PDF output from R Markdown requires that LaTeX be installed.R Markdown documents can have optional metadata that is used to generate a
document header that includes the title, author, and date. For more details
see the documentation on R Markdown metadata.
R Markdown documents also support citations. You can find more information on
the markdown syntax for citations within the pandoc documentation on
http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/demo/example19/Citations.html{citations}
and
http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/demo/example19/Footnotes.html{footnotes}.
Many aspects of the LaTeX template used to create PDF documents can be
customized using metadata. For example:
l{
---
title: "Crop Analysis Q3 2013"
fontsize: 11pt
geometry: margin=1in
---
}
Available metadata variables include:
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
