My header looks as follows and works perfectly as intended:
---
header-includes:
- \usepackage{float}
- \usepackage{wrapfig}
- \usepackage{graphicx}
- \usepackage[fontsize=12pt]{scrextend}
- \usepackage{fontspec}
- \renewcommand*{\bibfont}{\footnotesize}
- \usepackage[dvipsnames]{xcolor}
output:
pdf_document:
latex_engine: xelatex
fig_caption: true
citation_package: biblatex
bibliography: SPP.bib
mainfont: ArialMT
geometry: margin=0.75in
---
However, the reference section already gets populated by the section name "References". Is there a way to stop that automated insertion? Thanks.
The "References" section is automatically included if you define a bibliography. Here an excerpt from the template:
$if(biblatex)$
\printbibliography$if(biblio-title)$[title=$biblio-title$]$endif$
$endif$
Do you only want to change "References" into something else. Then it would be sufficient to add biblio-title: ... to you YAML header. If you want to suppress it completely, you have remove the quoted part in a copy of the template and use this copy instead. You can find the location where the template is stored via:
system.file("rmd", "latex", package = "rmarkdown")
#> [1] "/usr/lib/R/site-library/rmarkdown/rmd/latex"
Typically there are several files there:
list.files(system.file("rmd", "latex", package = "rmarkdown"))
#> [1] "default-1.14.tex" "default-1.15.2.tex" "default-1.17.0.2.tex"
#> [4] "default.tex"
The one with the highest version number (here default-1.17.0.2.tex) is used.

I have a rmarkdown document where I import a few PDFs, and I would like to display four PDF-import-pages per page in my knitted PDF.
---
title: "combinePages"
author: "xxx"
date: '2022-xx-xx'
output:
pdf_document:
toc: true
header-includes:
- \usepackage{pdfpages}
---
\includepdf[pages={-}]{pdfs/Lecture1.pdf}
\includepdf[pages={-}]{pdfs/Lecture2.pdf}
Can this be done in rmarkdown?
According to the manual of pdfpages,
nup => Puts multiple logical pages onto each sheet of paper. The syntax of this option is: nup=⟨xnup⟩x⟨ynup⟩. Where ⟨xnup⟩ and ⟨ynup⟩ specify the umber of logical pages in horizontal and vertical direction, which are arranged on each sheet of paper. (Default: nup=1x1)
So, four pdf pages from an imported pdf file can be knitted per page using nup=2x2 in the option of \includepdf.

I'm getting a weird error that I can't seem to understand. I have an rMarkdown file with a mixture of code, tables, and plain text (in RStudio).
I want to knit to PDF. I am able to do this, but only if I've deleted the cache folder. If the cache has been created, I get the following error when trying to do subsequent knits:
! LaTeX Error: Illegal character in array arg.
This is especially confusing as it always works the first time, and the PDF output looks exactly as I want it to. My code components are set to "cache=TRUE", because it's a big file and I want to cut down on loading time. I've looked up what that error means, but I can't find anything on how it relates to the cache.
If it's of any use, this is my header:

I'm creating an R Markdown document which outputs a PDF document. My YAML header is the following:
---
title: "Introduction"
author: "John Doe
date: "August 26, 2018"
mainfont: Pancetta Pro
documentclass: book
output:
pdf_document:
number_sections: true
df_print: kable
fig_caption: yes
fig_width: 6
highlight: tango
includes:
in_header: preamble.tex
latex_engine: xelatex
geometry: headheight=25pt, tmargin=25mm, bmargin=20mm, innermargin=20mm, outermargin=20mm
---
In the preamble.tex file I want to have the following LaTeX commands (which just modify the way the headers are displayed):
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markright{#1}}
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{}
\renewcommand{\subsectionmark}[1]{}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\chapter}[hang]{\Huge}{\bfseries\thechapter}{0.2pt}{\thicklines\thehook}[\vspace{0.5em}]
However, when these last lines are included in the preamble.tex I get an error when knitting the R Markdown file:
! Argument of \paragraph has an extra }.
<inserted text>
\par
l.1290 \ttl#extract\paragraph
Error: Failed to compile Template.tex
I can't figure out why it won't run. The contents of thepreamble.texfile are the following:
% !TeX program = lualatex
\usepackage{relsize} % To make math slightly larger.
\newcommand{\thehook}{%
\hspace{.5em}%
\setlength{\unitlength}{1em}%
\raisebox{-.5em}{\begin{picture}(.4,1.7)
\put(0,0){\line(1,0){.2}}
\put(.2,0){\line(0,1){1.7}}
\put(.2,1.7){\line(1,0){.2}}
\end{picture}}%
\hspace{0.5em}%
} %This creates the "hook" symbol at the beginning of each chapter.
\usepackage{anyfontsize}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Pancetta Pro}
% We set the font for the chapters:
\newfontfamily\chapterfont{Pancetta Pro}
% And now for the sections:
\newfontfamily\sectionfont{Pancetta Pro}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancyhead{}
\fancyfoot{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
\fancyhead[RO]{\large\sffamily\rightmark\thehook\textbf{\thepage}}
\fancyhead[LE]{\large\sffamily\textbf{\thepage}\thehook\rightmark}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
\fancyhf{}
}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markright{#1}}
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{}
\renewcommand{\subsectionmark}[1]{}
\fontsize{12}{20}\selectfont
\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\chapter}[hang]{\Huge}{\bfseries\thechapter}{0.2pt}{\thicklines\thehook}[\vspace{0.5em}]
When excluding the last 6 lines in the previous code there's no error and the pdf is created.
If you want to use titlesec together with rmarkdown you have to add
subparagraph: yes
to your YAML headers, c.f. several other answers.
The default LaTeX class used by rmarkdown is article, which has no chapters. You should add
documentclass: report
or
documentclass: book
to your YAML header.
If I insert references via #nocite, these references show up in the html and pub versions of the knit book but not in the PDF. How can I ensure that the bibliography stays consistent across formats?
Here is a MWE with a single nocite reference added to book.bib ... #Book{Lander2014, author = {Lander, Jared P}, title = {R for everyone: Advanced analytics and graphics}, year = {2014}, publisher = {Pearson Education}}

# Prerequisites
This is a _sample_ book written in **Markdown**. You can use anything that Pandoc's Markdown supports, e.g., a math equation $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$.
For now, you have to install the development versions of **bookdown** from Github:
```{r eval=FALSE}
devtools::install_github("rstudio/bookdown")
```
Remember each Rmd file contains one and only one chapter, and a chapter is defined by the first-level heading `#`.
To compile this example to PDF, you need to install XeLaTeX.
```{r include=FALSE}
# automatically create a bib database for R packages
knitr::write_bib(c(
.packages(), 'bookdown', 'knitr', 'rmarkdown'
), 'packages.bib')
```

Within the output YAML for the .pdf, if you remove the option citation_package: natbib, it should work. See the pandoc docs on citation rendering: https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#citation-rendering. If "natbib" or "biblatex" are passed in, then "pandoc-citeproc" is not used.
I experimented with this and was able to generate references in the nocite element to appear in both HTML and .pdf. When you do this, you will want to include # References {-} or something similar, just as you would when writing to HTML.
Note that I am not expert in LaTeX and cannot speak to any unintended consequences which may occur when "natbib" or "biblatex" are not used for a .pdf build.
I am new to markdown and want to produce pdf files with the university (and other) logo on each page. I tried to use fancyheadings, and I have a problem:
Putting the image in the headings works only if I call the image in the document, otherwise the pdf is not produced
NB: I also had to set the heading height otherwise the page 2 would not work with - \setlength{\headheight}{2.4 cm}.
Any suggestions were the problem is?

This is an R Markdown document.
the includegraphics works only if there is a picture in the document, maybe because of the latex template (?).
A solution is to create a cache picture (1white pixel picture) and call it at the end of the code:
