YAML

  • can change the output format e.g. pdf_document
  • default means you are using default settings, but when you want a theme, it needs to use the readable theme so delete default
    • other themes include cerulean, journal, flatly, darkly spacelab, cosmo, yeti, paper, lumen etc.
  • YAML picky about indentation and when you include things or not
  • floating toc stays visible
