Change the overall appearance of your report

In the YAML header, more than just the title and output format can be specified. You can also customize things such as syntax highlighting or the overall appearance by specifying a custom theme.

Instructions

  • At line 7 in the YAML header, pick an official RMarkdown style preset (the theme key in YAML syntax) for your report (other than "default" and "darkly"), replacing the placeholder "blank".
    • Valid themes include (but are not limited to) cerulean, journal, and flatly.
    • Refer to this HTML document manual by RStudio for a list of available style presets.
  • At line 8 in the YAML header, specify monochrome syntax highlighting by setting the highlight key (again replacing the placeholder "blank"). Pay attention to the indentation rules of YAML (i.e. don't change the existing indentation).
