Details

See the http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/pdf_document_format.html{online documentation} for additional details on using the pdf_document format.

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 in the http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/authoring_bibliographies_and_citations.html{Bibliographies and Citations} article in the online documentation.

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]

Examples

library(rmarkdown)

# simple invocation
render("input.Rmd", pdf_document())

# specify an option for latex engine
render("input.Rmd", pdf_document(latex_engine = "lualatex"))

# add a table of contents and pass an option to pandoc
render("input.Rmd", pdf_document(toc = TRUE, "--listings"))
