Insert picture table in R Markdown

Question

So I want to insert a table AND a picture into R Markdown  In regular word document I can just easily insert a table  5 rows by 2 columns   and for the picture just copy and paste    How do I insert a 5 row by 2 column table  and also type stuff into them  and also adjust the table in terms of the 2nd column being wider than the first   How do I insert a picture  From my understanding  I should first save the picture as a png  then reference it into my document  Also  I want to automatically adjust the picture to the report  like not taking up more than a page  or less than a page  Is there a way for me to adjust the size of the picture to my liking   If anyone knows anything cool formatting about R Markdown could you also let me know  I know that   makes a big title for a paragraph  and       bolds things  Thats about all I know though

When it comes to inserting a picture  r2evans s suggestion of   Caption for the picture    path to image png  can be problematic if PDF output is required     The knitr function include graphics knitr  include graphics   path to image png   is a more portable alternative that will generate  on your behalf  the markdown that is most appropriate to the output format that you are generating

Update  since the answer from  r2evans  it is much easier to insert images into R Markdown and control the size of the image    Images  The bookdown book does a great job of explaining that the best way to include images is by using include graphics    For example  a full width image can be printed with a caption below       r pressure  echo FALSE  fig cap  A caption   out width    100    knitr  include graphics  temp png         The reason this method is better than the pandoc approach   your image  path to image     It automatically changes the command based on the output format  HTML PDF Word  The same syntax can be used to the size of the plot  fig width   the output width in the report  out width   add captions  fig cap  etc  It uses the best graphical devices for the output  This means PDF images remain high resolution    Tables  knitr  kable   is the best way to include tables in an R Markdown report as explained fully here  Again  this function is intelligent in automatically selecting the correct formatting for the output selected       r table  knitr  kable mtcars 1 5   1 5   caption    A table caption         If you want to make your own simple tables in R Markdown and are using R Studio  you can check out the insert table package  It provides a tidy graphical interface for making tables   Achieving custom styling of the table column width is beyond the scope of knitr  but the kableExtra package has been written to help achieve this  https   cran r-project org web packages kableExtra index html  Style Tips  The R Markdown cheat sheet is still the best place to learn about most the basic syntax you can use   If you are looking for potential extensions to the formatting  the bookdown package is also worth exploring  It provides the ability to cross-reference  create special headers and more  https   bookdown org yihui bookdown markdown-extensions-by-bookdown html

Several sites provide reasonable cheat sheets or HOWTOs for tables and images  Top on my list are    Pandoc readme  specifically tables RStudio s RMarkdown  more details in basics  including tables  and a rewrite of pandoc s markdown    Pictures are very simple to use but do not offer the ability to adjust the image to fit the page  see Update  below   To adjust the image properties  size  resolution  colors  border  etc   you ll need some form of image editor  I find I can do everything I need with one of ImageMagick  GIMP  or InkScape  all free and open source   To add a picture  use     Caption for the picture    path to image png    I know pandoc supports PNG and JPG  which should meet most of your needs   You do have control over image size if you are creating it in R  e g   a plot   This can be done either directly in the command to create the image or  even better  via options if you are using knitr  highly recommended     check out chunk options  specifically under Plots    I strongly recommend perusing these tutorials  markdown is very handy and has many features most people don t use on a regular basis but really like once they learn it   SO is not necessarily the best place to ask questions that are answered very directly in these tutorials      Update  2019-Aug-31  Some time ago  pandoc incorporated  link attributes  for images  apparently in 2015  with commit jgm pandoc 244cd56    Resizing images  can be done directly  For example     unchanged image  foo jpg    much-smaller image  foo jpg   id  class width 30 height 20px    half-size image  foo jpg   id  class width 50  height 50     The dimensions can be provided with no units  pixels assumed   or with  px  cm  mm  in  inch and     ref  https   pandoc org MANUAL html  search for link attributes     I m not certain that CommonMark has implemented this  though there was a lengthy discussion
