Adding custom CSS tags to an RMarkdown html document

Question

I have an RMarkdown document outputting to HTML of the same form as the below example. What do I add where to apply unique CSS ids or classes to each plot output?

Answer 1

Here are some additional ways of achieving custom css in RMarkdown

• Add css between tags in the regular body of the RMarkdown (i.e. not in R code area), like so:

# This heading will be padded {.pad}

• Another option is to declare css: "style.css" in yaml and store styles in a separate file (style sheet) in the same directory
• Or css can be generated and applied via R code (excellent example here)
