How can I change paper size when using Knit PDF in RStudio?
At least in newer versions of the rmarkdown
R package (and Pandoc) you can just set:
---
output: pdf_document
papersize: a4
---
OK, so I figured it out. In the .Rmd file's header, options documentclass
and classoption
get written into the preamble of the resulting .tex file. The article
document class accepts a number of paper size options including a4paper
. The header in the .Rmd file will then look something like this:
---
title: "Title"
author: "Name"
date: "Date"
output:
pdf_document
documentclass: article
classoption: a4paper
---
