Centering image and text in R Markdown for a PDF report

Question

I want to center an image and/or text using R Markdown and knit a PDF report out of it.

I have tried using:

->Text<-

->![](image1.jpg)<-

You can set the center (or other) alignment for the whole document as a Knitr option, using:

knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE, fig.align="center")
