Paginate the HTML Output of R Markdown with CSS for Print

R

The pagedown package enables you to create paginated PDF documents from R Markdown using CSS instead of LaTeX. You only need a modern web browser like Chrome or Edge to generate the PDFs.

The package provides multiple output formats including paged HTML documents, resumes, academic papers, posters, business cards, and letters. It solves the problem of PDF generation without requiring LaTeX installation, making it more accessible for users who want print-quality documents. The package builds on Paged.js and uses CSS for typesetting, giving you flexible styling options while maintaining a simple workflow within R Markdown.
