I cannot figure out how to center a figure caption in RMarkdown with MS Word output. I'm pointing the Markdown document to a reference Word template, and the figure captions in the template are correct. The problem is that RMarkdown doesn't know that the captions are supposed to be captions. It's treating them as just normal text.
---
title: "Title"
author: "Author"
date: "June 5, 2020"
output:
bookdown::word_document2:
fig_caption: yes
reference_docx: Template.docx
subsubtitle: Test
subtitle: Subtitle

# My Plots
Sample Plot
{r pressure,fig.cap="Sample Caption", echo=FALSE}
plot(pressure)
How do I tell RMarkdown that "Sample Caption" is actually figure text and not just normal text?
Try specify fig.id = "pressure" and it should generate automatically numbered captions.

Can anyone help me understand how to write my header so that the figure caption and cross reference works?
I am practicing making captions and cross references to a simple plot in my Rmd file. I understand that to do so, I should add to my header: "output: bookend::pdf_document2" and "fig_caption = yes". Then, to a chunk called myfigure, I should add "fig.cap = "\label{fig:myfigure} My caption". To cross reference this figure I should write in the text "#ref(fig:myfigure)". My code is below. It won't knit because the formatting of the header is wrong.

title: "knit"
author: "Chase Hommeyer"
date: "4/1/2019"
output: bookdown::pdf_document2
toc: true
fig_caption: yes
---
```{r myfigure, fig.cap = "\\label{fig:myfigure} My caption"}
plot(pressure)
```
My plot is called \#ref(fig:myfigure).
Then, I tried deleting the whitespace before toc and fig_caption, and it knit, but no caption appeared, and the text literally printed "#ref(fig:myfigure)" instead of a cross reference. The header I tried is here:
---
title: "knit"
author: "Chase Hommeyer"
date: "4/1/2019"
output: bookdown::pdf_document2
toc: true
fig_caption: yes
---
I also tried adding "pdf_document:" to the header, but the same issue of no caption and the cross reference being literally "#ref(fig:myfigure)". This header I tried is here:
---
title: "knit"
author: "Chase Hommeyer"
date: "4/1/2019"
output: bookdown::pdf_document2
pdf_document:
toc: true
fig_caption: yes
---
Can anyone help me understand how to write my header so that it works?
use \ref{fig:myfigure} instead of \\#ref(fig:myfigure)
See RStudio Community Post
You have a wrong YAML header and some wrong understanding of referencing. I used this RMD file:
---
title: "knit"
author: "Chase Hommeyer"
date: "4/1/2019"
output:
bookdown::pdf_document2:
toc: true
fig_caption: yes
---
```{r myfigure, fig.cap = "My caption"}
plot(pressure)
```
My plot is called Figure \#ref(fig:myfigure).
First, break the line after output in the header. The whitespaces are very important in the YAML header!
Then, read the bookdown manual:
The label of a figure environment is generated from the label of the code chunk, e.g., if the chunk label is foo, the figure label will be fig:foo (the prefix fig: is added before foo). To reference a figure, use the syntax, where label is the figure label, e.g., fig:foo.
To reference your plot with the chunk name "myfigure", just write \#ref(fig:myfigure). The caption of the figure can be set via fig.cap in the chunk options.
My RMarkdown document has code chunks that generate multiple figures or tables from within one chunk. For instance, it loops through a bunch of variables to generate summary statistics tables for each variable. The problem is that the numbering of these figures/tables is often wrong when I try to generate a HTML document; this problem doesn't happen when I compile a PDF. The problem is that all the tables generated from the same chunk would get the same table number.
Here is an example:
---
title: "Testing Section Numbers"
author: "Authors"
date: "January 2019"
output:
bookdown::gitbook:
number_sections: yes
editor_options:
chunk_output_type: console

# R Markdown
Text text text
```{r pressure1, echo=FALSE, fig.cap=c("This is my plot", "This is my other plot")}
plot(pressure)
plot(iris)
```
```{r pressure2, echo=FALSE}
library(knitr)
kable(pressure, caption = "My first table")
kable(pressure, caption = "My second table")
```
This is due to a bug of knitr, which I just fixed in the development version on Github. Please try
remotes::install_github('yihui/knitr')
I am putting together an R Markdown document in HTML, and I have the following YAML:
---
title: "R Markdown Example"
author: "Me"
date: "October 30, 2017"
output:
html_document:
fig_width: 7
fig_height: 6
fig_caption: true
code_folding: "show"

I am trying to insert a figure with auto-numbered caption with the following code:
```{r, fig.cap="Figure caption \\label{fig_1}"}
plot(mtcars$hp, mtcars$mpg)
```
But the caption number won't show up. When I try to reference the image in the text
(Figure \ref{fig_1})
I just get:
(Figure )
I have the same problem. This only happens for Word and HTML outputs, so I think I may be using LaTeX documentation instead of the proper input for these types. I've tried a lot of the different recommendations for figure captions, but I can't seem to get any of it to work.
I needed to output to Word to adhere to a journal that only accepted Word... So I ended up using the captioner package. This should also work with html and pdf.
library(captioner)
fig_nums <- captioner()
In my r chunk I put my plot code and then the caption comes directly after the chunk in ticks, using the fig_nums function ``:
```{r}
plot(pressure)
```
`r fig_nums("pressure-plot", "pressure against temperature")`
It looks like this in the Word output:
Then I can refer to it in text like this:
As you can see from the nice visualisation in r fig_nums("pressure-plot", display = "cite") the pressure rises as
temperature rises.
This will show as:
As you can see from the nice visualisation in Figure 1 the pressure rises as
temperature rises
Be sure to run the first time you use, and check-out for more info:
install.packages("captioner")
vignette("using_captioner")
You can use the bookdown::html_document2 format.

title: "Untitled"
output: bookdown::html_document2

```{r pressure, echo=FALSE, fig.cap='test plot'}
plot(pressure)
```
\#ref(fig:pressure)
I wrote my own titlepage and it is loaded via an include in the R-markdown file. However, this conflicts with the pandoc title. I am trying to find settings in the R markdown yaml header such that pandoc does not insert the following code snipped into the tex-file.
% Create subtitle command for use in maketitle
\newcommand{\subtitle}[1]{
\posttitle{
\begin{center}\large#1\end{center}
}
}
\setlength{\droptitle}{-2em}
\title{}
\pretitle{\vspace{\droptitle}}
\posttitle{}
\author{}
\preauthor{}\postauthor{}
\date{}
\predate{}\postdate{}
There is no clear indication in the pandoc documents or the r markdown guidelines how to disable the title generation. Any help would be appreciated.
Update: In particular, I am looking for solutions that allow me to keep creating my title page with the \maketitle command. That is why I focussed on this particular code snipped that I want to get rid of.
I also use my own title page with rmarkdown documents for latex/pdf outputs. To remove the title, you can add the following command in a text file called with in_header :
\AtBeginDocument{\let\maketitle\relax}
A reproductible example with the header.tex file built directly within the Rmd document:
---
title: "RMarkdown No title Test"
author: "StatnMap"
date: "July 30, 2017"
output:
pdf_document:
includes:
in_header: header.tex
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
```
```{r rm_title_page, echo=FALSE}
head <- cat('
\\AtBeginDocument{\\let\\maketitle\\relax}
', file = "header.tex")
```
# Title 1
**Some text**
# Title 2
**Some text**
Using compact-title: false in the YAML works.
---
title: "This title is not compact"
author: "Test"
date: "2019 May 10"
output: pdf_document
compact-title: false

I had the same problem today. Here's what I did. (Maybe I'll update the solution when I come up with something better.)
The solution is dumb but useful. I can't set an arbitrary space between the lines now, because I used \newline.
---
title: "\\huge My Smart Title"
author: "\\newline \\Large My Smart Author"
date: "\\newline \\Large 2018-12-25"
output:
pdf_document:
includes:
in_header: preamble.tex
latex_engine: xelatex
---
Below are the outputs before and after the solution.

AFTER:
Note:
You may be confused about the different sizes of the "author" and the "date" in the two pictures above, if you don't know that the fontsize of the "author" and the "date" is \large instead of \Large by default.

I am attempting to create an rmarkdown document. I have finally figured out a way to approach this, although it has taken quite some time. The last thing I would like to be able to do is to add an image to the title page of my pdf document.
The trouble I have is that my title page is defined by the top section of YAML. Below is the contents of my example.Rmd file. I use the Knit PDF button in RStudio to turn it into a PDF.
---
title: "This is a my document"
author: "Prepared by: Dan Wilson"
date: '`r paste("Date:",Sys.Date())`'
mainfont: Roboto Light
fontsize: 12pt
documentclass: report
output:
pdf_document:
latex_engine: xelatex
highlight: tango

This is an R Markdown document. Markdown is a simple formatting syntax for authoring HTML, PDF, and MS Word documents. For more details on using R Markdown see <http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com>.
When you click the **Knit** button a document will be generated that includes both content as well as the output of any embedded R code chunks within the document. You can embed an R code chunk like this:
```{r}
summary(cars)
```
You can also embed plots, for example:
```{r, echo=FALSE}
plot(cars)
```
Note that the `echo = FALSE` parameter was added to the code chunk to prevent printing of the R code that generated the plot.
If anyone has some tips that would allow me to put an image (logo.png) above my title that would be great.
Based on the previous solution, the following code does not require an auxiliary header.tex file. All contents are contained in the .Rmd file. The LaTeX commands are instead defined in a header-includes block in the YAML header. More info can be found here.
Replace my_graphic.png below with your local graphic file.

title: "A title page image should be above me"
header-includes:
- \usepackage{titling}
- \pretitle{\begin{center}\LARGE\includegraphics[width=12cm]{my_graphic.png}\\[\bigskipamount]}
- \posttitle{\end{center}}
output:
pdf_document:
toc: true

\newpage
# Section 1
Some text.
I was able to solve this using LaTeX package titling

Where the header.tex should include the following code:
\usepackage{titling}
\pretitle{%
\begin{center}
\LARGE
\includegraphics[width=4cm,height=6cm]{logo.png}\\[\bigskipamount]
}
\posttitle{\end{center}}
and replace logo.png with the image you would like to use and make sure the file is in the root directory of your Rmd file. You can change image width and height to your needs. For more information on available options go to titling
For a beamer presentation you can do it like this:
title: "Title"
subtitle: "Subtitle"
author: "author"
date: "date"
header-includes:
- \titlegraphic{\centering \includegraphics[width=12cm]{titlepic.png}}
output:
beamer_presentation:
latex_engine: xelatex
theme: "metropolis"
highlight: "espresso"
classoption: "aspectratio=169"
The titlegraphic will be placed below your title text
For beamer presentation if you want an image at the bottom you can kind of cheat and add the image where the date line should be. Then if you want to insert date you can add institution (which is before date). the ![] should be tabbed (4 spaces from the far left of the page)
date: |
{width=3in}
