Hi there,
thanks for taking the time to put together an interesting article on this.
I have been using (fighting with, really) Markdown to generate word documents containing customer reports and I have been able to achieve most of my “dreams”. I created a “model” document and set it with all the frills I wanted, like:
– layout =landscape (Forced in sample document as well as in the start of the .RMD file) – failed to deliver
– default table style as a plain table with all borders painted (Forced in sample document ) – failed to deliver
– default page numbering in the footer using style accent1 (Forced in sample document ) – failed to deliver
– default headings styles (Forced in sample document ) – delivered
In the start of the RMD file I use I have the following:
title: “Capacity and Availability for Data and Internet Services”
output: word_document
reference_docx: TestFormat.docx
classoption: -landscape

Any hints on where I should look to work out what I am not doing correctly?
Thanks
