I am writing my first .rmd report using RMarkdown and then I knit it to pdf file. As I write it in my national language, I would like to have figures captions in my language too. The problem is that the default caption format is "Figure 1: My caption". I would like to change this generative "Figure 1:" part but I couldn't find how. Any help will be appreciated.
Try specifying the language in the YAML header of an rmarkdown document (documentation link):
---
title: "Crop Analysis Q3 2013"
output: pdf_document
fontsize: 11pt
geometry: margin=1in
lang: german
---
The language code will be processed by the babel LaTeX package (at least in the case of pdflatex).
I found out that it is possible to do using LaTeX:
---
title: "My raport"
output:
pdf_document:
fig_caption: yes
header-includes:
- \usepackage{caption}
---
\def\figurename{MyFigureName}
Still: is there any simpler way?
It should work like this:
---
output:
pdf_document:
fig_caption: true
---
```{r figWithCaption, echo=F, fig.cap="My Figure Caption"}
plot(cars) # your figure
```

I am trying to switch from LaTeX to RMarkdown+bookdown when writing a paper that includes tables and figures. One main motivation is to be able to create both Word documents and PDF documents.
For word_document2, how can I add a figure title/caption above the figure as well as figure notes below the same figure?
Here is how I would do it in LaTeX (and it would be convenient to continue using LaTeX as I am transferring everything over from LaTeX to RMarkdown).
\begin{figure}
\caption{Figure Title...}
\label{figure_label}
\vspace*{.2cm}
\includegraphics[width=7in]{figure_name.png}\\
\caption*{Figure Notes...}
\end{figure}
More broadly, is it possible to use LaTeX code with word_document2?
Note that my preamble currently looks like:
---
title: "..."
author: "..."
date: "10/14/2021"
output:
bookdown::word_document2:
number_sections: false
bookdown::pdf_document2:
number_sections: false
header-includes:
- \usepackage{floatrow}
- \floatsetup[figure]{capposition=top}
citation_package: default
bibliography: ../references.bib
always_allow_html: true
---
And I am currently able to get the caption above the figure, but just for the pdf_document2 (see Caption above figure using knitr (LaTeX/PDF)):
```{r figure-label, fig.cap="Figure Title", fig.width=6, fig.height=3.7, fig.align="center"}
...
This doesn't seem to work when creating the Word document.
yihui says in his documentation¹ we can use the officedown² package to influence word layouts. It has the Plot- option topcaption: you can set it to true as shown below.

title: "..."
author: "..."
date: "10/14/2021"
output:
officedown::rdocx_document:
plots:
style: Normal
align: center
topcaption: true
bookdown::pdf_document2:
number_sections: false
header-includes:
- \usepackage{floatrow}
- \floatsetup[figure]{capposition=top}
citation_package: default
---
```{r figure-label, fig.cap="Top Caption", fig.width=6, fig.height=3.7}
plot(rnorm(1000,300,32))
library(officedown)
``
this should give you a docx with figure captions on top.
How do I use \label and \ref to link sections in rmarkdown when outputting to pdf please. I have tried various permutations from https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/cross-references.html and https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown-cookbook/cross-ref.html with no success.
One attempt

title: "Untitled"
output: pdf_document

See Section \#ref(sec:label).
# Section One (\#sec:label)
which gives
You can modify your document as follows:
---
title: "Untitled 1"
date: "28 de junio de 2020"
link-citations: yes
output:
pdf_document:
includes:
keep_tex: yes
number_sections: yes
toc_depth: 2
---
\section{This is the first section} \label{section1}
You will be some in \ref{section1}
Then you can see how numbers appear, just add \label{} to your sections and use \ref{} to call. Also, I suggest using \section{}, and modify YAML as I included. Hoping this can help.
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.
I am trying to build a beamer presentation using rmarkdown. In my presentation I want to include tables using the kable, and kableExtra packages. I am having issues with this because one of the LaTex packages that kableExtra requires is already loaded by the beamer presentation with different options. This is the error message that I receive.
! LaTeX Error: Option clash for package xcolor.
I have been searching for a fix for this but have not had any luck. I have found solutions on the LaTex pages, here and here, but I do not know LaTex and I have not figured out how to apply these solutions in the rmarkdown arena. I have tried looking at the Latex templates in rmarkdown, but I do not understand it well enough to try and implement these solutions.
Any thoughts or solutions would be much appreciated. Here is just a quick sample of the .Rmd that gives the error.
---
title: "Untitled"
author: "Author"
date: "April 28, 2018"
output:
beamer_presentation:
keep_tex: true
header-includes:
- \usepackage[table]{xcolor}

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE)
library(knitr)
library(kableExtra)
dt <- mtcars[1:5, 1:6]
```
## Slide with R Output
```{r cars, echo = TRUE}
kable(dt, format = "latex")
```
## Slide with Plot
```{r pressure}
plot(pressure)
```
The linked answer on the TeX stackexchange suggests adding table to the class options for the document e.g. \documentclass[a4paper,table]{article}. In order to do this in RMarkdown, you can use a classoption: line in your YAML header:
---
title: "Untitled"
author: "Author"
date: "April 28, 2018"
classoption: table
output:
beamer_presentation:
keep_tex: true

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.
