How to add \newpage in Rmarkdown in a smart way?

Question

I wonder if one could simply use LaTeX \\newpage command in R markdown v2 in a different way than this:

```{r, results=\'asis\', echo=FALSE}
cat         


        

Answer 1

Simply \newpage or \pagebreak will work, e.g.

hello world
\newpage
```{r, echo=FALSE}
1+1
```
\pagebreak
```{r, echo=FALSE}
plot(1:10)
```

This solution assumes you are knitting PDF. For HTML, you can achieve a similar effect by adding a tag

. Note that you likely won't see a page break in your browser (HTMLs don't have pages per se), but the printing layout will have it.
