POknitr/Rmd: page break after n lines/n distance
text
Body
copied!<p><strong><em>Let me caveat by saying that this may be better suited as an html/css question but (a) I'm not too familiar with those techniques and (b) I wanted to keep it all in the family (R family) if possible.</em></strong></p> <p>I would like to use <code>knitr</code> to write academic style reports (<strong>APA 6 type guidelines</strong>) using Rmarkdown. I've got most aspects worked out but not page breaking. I can manually set page breaks with something like:</p> <pre><code># report ```{r setup, include=FALSE} # set global chunk options opts_chunk$set(cache=TRUE) ``` ------ ## Page 1 ```{r plot1} plot(1:10, 1:10) ``` ------ ## Page 2 </code></pre> <p>In the following .Rmd I'd like to programatically set those breaks after n lines/n distance. So let's say after 8 inches or 140 lines. </p> <pre><code># report ```{r setup, include=FALSE} # set global chunk options opts_chunk$set(cache=TRUE) ``` Initial Text. Yay! ```{r plot1} plot(1:10, 1:10) ``` More Text. Outstanding. What Hadley's not calling it plyr2? ```{r plot2, fig.width=4, fig.height=4} plot(1:10, 1:10) ``` `r paste(rep("So much text so little time!", 10000))` </code></pre> <p>How can I programatically set page breaks after n distance. This is similar to how <code>LaTeX</code> would break a file into pages so if a figure takes too much space it would be forced to the next page.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong> Found this from a friend: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-page/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-page/</a> may be helpful.</p>
