R Markdown将空格添加到HTML输出

Question

我发现了一些有关向R Markdown文档添加空格的建议，包括<br>，\newpage和其他一些内容。

这些对我的HTML输出不起作用，也许有更好的方法。我想在下面的例子中做两件事：

（1）在标题和第一个标题之间添加额外的空格

（2）在第一段和第二段之间添加额外的空格

让我们使用下面显示的默认R Markdown文档。我如何为HTML输出实现这个额外的空格？

---
title: "Here is the title"
output: html_document
---

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
```

由于问题是关于样式html_document，您必须使用一些CSS规则。有许多方法可以获得所需的格式。

为了找到实现目标的一组CSS规则，有必要检查呈现的HTML文档。这是问题中提供的默认HTML文档的相关R Markdown片段：

<div class="fluid-row" id="header">
  <h1 class="title toc-ignore">Here is the title</h1>
</div>

<div id="r-markdown" class="section level2">
  <h2>R Markdown</h2>

以下是一种使用margin property和:first-of-type pseudo-class：

的解决方案

---
title: "Here is the title"
output: html_document
---

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
```

```{css echo=FALSE}
/* Define a margin before h2 element */
h2  {
  margin-top: 6em;
}

/* Define a margin after every first p elements */
p:first-of-type {
  margin-bottom: 3em;
}
```

如果您在最终文档中使用这些CSS规则，您可能会感到失望，因为您会在每个h2元素之前和每个第一个p元素之后获得一个空格。因此，您可能更愿意选择带有div标识符的元素：

```{css echo=FALSE}
#r-markdown  {
  margin-top: 6em;
}

#r-markdown p:first-of-type {
  margin-bottom: 3em;
}
```

使用div元素划分R Markdown file中的部分。在每个div标记内，为每个margin-bottom属性分配一个边距值。接近100％的值会增加空白区域。

添加一行空白的简单解决方案是使用$〜$

这会增加一行空格，并且对我来说使用html输出是可靠的。

# R Markdown

Some text

$~$

More text after a white space
