I am trying to insert a figure in a RMarkdown document but am having trouble getting it to appear in the right place. The figure below shows the problem: when using a figur
I know this was answered by Yihui Xie already but I have an alternative solution that avoids the need to include out.extra = ''
or any of the other option that were given while also not interfering with figures that are rendered without captions.
Simply add the latex package 'float'
and use the \floatplacement{figure}{H}
to ensure every figure with a caption is rendered in proper order within the text as you wanted. Alternatively it could be added to the .tex
file used when RMarkdown knits a pdf, but I am fairly new to this and haven't had time to look into that option myself.
I found this fix by looking at the .tex
file in the thesisdown package from Chestar Ismay
It is a fairly easy fix by just adding three lines into the YAML. I don't have enough reputation to post a screen shot of it working but you can just copy what I've done and try it yourself!

## Including Plots
You can also embed plots, for example:
```{r pressure, echo=FALSE, fig.cap = "Hello"}
plot(pressure)
```
Note that the `echo = FALSE` parameter was added to the code chunk to prevent printing of the R code that generated the plot.
