I want to center an image and/or text using R Markdown and knit a PDF report out of it.
I have tried using:
->Text<- -><- That does not do the trick! Any other way of getting this done?

To center an image using the knitr::include_graphics() function, include it within an R code chunk that has the fig. align='center' option (and perhaps other options to control width, etc.).
To transform your markdown file into an HTML, PDF, or Word document, click the “Knit” icon that appears above your file in the scripts editor. A drop down menu will let you select the type of output that you want. When you click the button, rmarkdown will duplicate your text in the new file format.
Text can be indented two ways depending on if the indent is within a list or not. Within a list, four spaces at the begin of the line indicates the text is to be indented one nesting level. Use four additional spaces for each additional nesting level. To indent text which is not in a list, use a block quote.
If you are centering the output of an R code chunk, e.g., a plot, then you can use the fig.align option in knitr.
```{r fig.align="center"} plot(mtcars) ``` I had the same question. I have tried all solutions provided above and none of them worked... But I have found a solution that works for me, and hopefully for others too.
<center>  </center> This code will center both the image and the caption. It is essential that you leave lines between <center>, the image code, and </center>, otherwise the image will be centered but the caption will disappear.
If you want your image to have a clickable link, you can embed things like
[](www.link_to_image.com) However, the caption will no longer appear.
So if you want a clickable caption you will have to do it in two steps:
<center>  [your image caption](www.link_to_image.com) </center> Same here, make sure there are empty lines in between each command ones. If you want both the image and the caption to be clickable, then combine the middle and the last codes above. I hope this helps a bit.
