How to change the font color?

Question

In RMarkdown is there a way to specify the font color?

There doesn\'t seem to be an option while browsing through the chunk options

Answer 1

I create a function like this:

#Color Format
colFmt = function(x,color){
  outputFormat = knitr::opts_knit$get("rmarkdown.pandoc.to")
  if(outputFormat == 'latex')
    paste("\\textcolor{",color,"}{",x,"}",sep="")
  else if(outputFormat == 'html')
    paste("",x,"",sep="")
  else
    x
}

Then you can use it inline like this:`r colFmt("MY RED TEXT",'red')`, and colored text will be rendered regardless of whether working on latex or HTML document.
