How do I center an output in R?

The option for centering a plot you generated by R code in Rmd file and that for an existing figure from a file elsewhere is different. For the figures you generated in R, I think fig. align="center" is sufficient, even if you want a PDF output. For <center> <\center> to work, you can only use an HTML output.

You can mix html with markdown. For example

<center> <h1>heading 1</h1> </center> 

There may be ways to center actual markdown instead of centering html, but that's easy enough.

You can use CSS to adjust the alignment of headings.

For example, you may center section headings of level 1, 2, and 3 with the CSS code below:

h1, h2, h3 {    text-align: center; }
