Reducing space between command and output in RMarkdown / Quarto

Question

I am just starting to use Quarto in the latest version of Rstudio. However, I'm annoyed by the amount of space added between the command and the output in the R code chunk (rendered as pdf)

```{r}
3 + 1
```

You can add options to executable code like this

```{r}
#| echo: false
2 * 2
```

The `echo: false` option disables the printing of code (only output is displayed).

I am unable to find any references or global code chunk options to reduce this spacing. What is the usual R Markdown code chunk option for this?

Answer 1

You can try this solution.

As you know, Quarto by default uses the KOMA-Script classes.

If you change one of them (by default: scrartcl) to the standard document-class in LaTeX (f.e.: article) - space will be reduced.

format: 
  pdf:
    documentclass: article

Good luck ;-)
