In this video we will quickly review how to apply themes to your R Markdown document to make it a bit prettier and bit more fun and engaging to consume.

Thank you. I have 2 questions. 1. Is it possible to modify theme and look of document for pdf output? 2. Is it possible to change Code Chunk color for pdf output?

[@sannekorsbakkesrensen809]

How do you do the floating toc in the last theme? I can't seem to make that work 😔

Use paged_table() function from rmarkdown library if you want your tables to have pagination.

[@josiahparry]

@@KalCalm super useful to know! I didn’t know about that one :)

Loved your video. Thnx for making this video, I'm new to R markdown, doing my first portfolio project. Your video helped me a lot. Please upload more like this. I have a request, " How do I make a table of content in one page, where I can click and go to other pages? "

[@josiahparry]

What font are you using on your r markdown ...how can I get mine to be similar?

[@josiahparry]

This was using the xcode theme in RStudio

[@user-yq9kr9sy9i]

Does these themes and stuff work for pdf output as well?

[@josiahparry]

they do not. but you can use pagedown (github.com/rstudio/pagedown) to capture the output and turn it into a pdf

[@wolfganggoethe7810]

How do you plot the file in viewer tab without having do knit?

[@josiahparry]

Click the arrow next to the cog wheel to the right of the knit button. Click preview in viewer pane or something somiluar to that

[@wolfganggoethe7810]

@@josiahparry Thanks!

[@vaibhavchadha585]

How can I knit the last themes to pdf?

[@MattZano]

I've looked for ways to do this with HTML or Markdown to PDF conversions but the easiest option seems to be just printing to pdf from your browser

[@TheJacov]

Seriously, ALWAYS use a dark theme, especially for instructional or demo videos. Please. White is Deadly!

[@josiahparry]

Dark themes hurt my eyes. We all have our preferences.

[@TheJacov]

@@josiahparry Well, I can't argue with that I guess!😁

[@TheJacov]

Dude: Please! For heavens sake learn how to turn on a dark theme. White screens are the eye-killer!

[@josiahparry]

Yo, Jerry! Not everyone loves dark themes. Truly dark themese hurt my eyes :)

[@TheJacov]

@@josiahparry Well, I guess we're all individuals here. (I'm not).😁To each his own, I suppose! 😄😁

[@enyonamfame]

Sigh 😔 nothing is working for me. When I type the theme names, nothing changed. I even downloaded the yaml package and restarted R
