R help - Aug 2014 - How to change print behaviour within a markdown document

Hello

I have the following chunk of code within a rmarkdown document:

```{r infoA, echo=FALSE, tidy=FALSE}
print(pAinfo,quote=FALSE,justify="center")
```
pAinfo is data.frame with 21 rows and 4 columns. Unfortunately the resulting
html (or pdf) file does not show all the four columns together (the fourth
column is placed below the first three columns) even though there is plenty of
room to accommodate the last column.

Is there a way to control how print or rmarkdown breaks the data.frame in order
to get all four columns together? Can I somehow control the font size too?

Many thanks

Ed

Use one of the various functions out there that generate markdown or html
tables, and set the chunk option results='asis'.

Google for "kable", "xtable", "pander", or
"ascii"... there are probably others as well.

I don't know rmarkdown, but it is probably R that is breaking the lines,
based on the width option.  Set options(width=80) for wider lines.

The font is likely controlled by the style sheet.  You need to find how
rmarkdown sets that, and change it.
