R knitr markown: Setting HTML page width

css, knitr, r

Solution

Add a `css` element to your document, e.g.

---
title: "test"

output:
  html_document:
    css: "test.css"
---

and then put your new css information in that file, e.g.

body {
  max-width: 1100px;
  margin: auto;
 padding: 1em;
 line-height: 20px ; 
}

Problem

I am using `knitr` to create a HTML webpage. The default setting seems to be 800px but I need a larger page size of 1100px ``` body { max-width: 800px; margin: auto; padding: 1em; line-height: 20px ; } ``` I have tried: ``` library("markdown") library("knitr") knit2html("test.Rmd",options = c(width=1100)) ``` But this still gives me the smaller page size of 800px How can I set the code for the HTML page width?
