R Markdown - changing font size and font type in html output
You can change the font size in R Markdown with HTML code tags <font size="1"> your text </font>
. This code is added to the R Markdown document and will alter the output of the HTML output.
For example:
<font size="1"> This is my text number1</font>
<font size="2"> This is my text number 2 </font>
<font size="3"> This is my text number 3</font>
<font size="4"> This is my text number 4</font>
<font size="5"> This is my text number 5</font>
<font size="6"> This is my text number 6</font>
I think fontsize:
command in YAML only works for LaTeX / pdf. Apart, in standard latex classes (article, book, and report) only three font sizes are accepted (10pt, 11pt, and 12pt).
Regarding appearance (different font types and colors), you can specify a theme:
. See Appearance and Style.
I guess, what you are looking for is your own css.
Make a file called style.css
, save it in the same folder as your .Rmd
and include it in the YAML header:
---
output:
html_document:
css: style.css
---
In the css-file you define your font-type and size:
/* Whole document: */
body{
font-family: Helvetica;
font-size: 16pt;
}
/* Headers */
h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6{
font-size: 24pt;
}
