I'm currently working on a pdf document using Rmarkdown
on RStudio
but I'm very much confused about to how to customize my YAML section. This is my actual code:
---
title: "The very basics of R"
author: "Alejandro C."
date: "March, 2020"
output:
pdf_document:
latex_engine: xelatex
toc: true
mainfont: Times New Roman
fontsize: 12pt
header-includes:
- \usepackage{titling}
- \pretitle{\begin{flushleft}}
- \posttitle{\end{flushleft}}
- \preauthor{\begin{flushleft}}
- \postauthor{\end{flushleft}}
- \predate{\begin{flushleft}}
- \postdate{\end{flushleft}}
---
What I want to achieve is the following:
- Use a bigger fontsize in my title (for example, 14) and boldface it
- Use 12 fontsize for author and date
- Use 11 fontsize for my document (I don't know if this must be specified in the YAML section)
I'm new on this topic so I really don't know where to start besides the R Markdown Reference Guide. Any help and advice will be much appreciated.
