RStudio, knitr, pandoc, Word: how do I get a 'new page' in my docx?

docx, knitr, pandoc, r, rstudio

Solution

Try the LaTeX command \newpage. Pandoc recognizes it and might (not on a computer right now) translate it to a Word page break.

Problem

I am using the RStudio, knitr, pandoc, MS Word combo to get my final results in a `docx` document. Occasionally, I would like the report to continue on a new page. I can't find the way to achieve this. From what I have Googled, it seems to be possible with `CSS`. I don't know `HTML` or `CSS`, but if it is the solution I will learn. Just don't want to take the wrong road...
