Split the title onto multiple lines?
Examples for adding an abtract show the use of pipes | to break lines and include paragraphs. This works as well for the title and other yaml elements. For an abstract or title:
---
abstract: |
What works for the abstract.
Works for the title, too!
title: |
| title
| subtitle
output: pdf_document
---
For PDF output, experimentation revealed that the following works:
---
title: 'A title I want to \nsplit on two lines'
author:
date:
output: pdf_document
---
That is two spaces followed by \n
.
For an HTML output just us the <br>
tag while if your output is a PDF or PDF presentation standard LaTeX code to break line given by \\
should work.
Example
---
title: 'A title I want to <br> split on two lines'
author:
date:
output:
ioslides_presentation

For PDF
Just to rule out possibilities, I've tried to put \\
or \newline
, both do not split, so for PDF seems to be a little bit tricky. \linebreak
stop knitr parsing. Maybe another user can solve this question for knitr PDFs.
