You can change the style, modifying a variety of things. E.g,
---
title: Test
---
<style type="text/css">
body{ /* Normal */
font-size: 12px;
}
td { /* Table */
font-size: 8px;
}
h1.title {
font-size: 38px;
color: DarkRed;
}
h1 { /* Header 1 */
font-size: 28px;
color: DarkBlue;
}
h2 { /* Header 2 */
font-size: 22px;
color: DarkBlue;
}
h3 { /* Header 3 */
font-size: 18px;
font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
color: DarkBlue;
}
code.r{ /* Code block */
font-size: 12px;
}
pre { /* Code block - determines code spacing between lines */
font-size: 14px;
}
</style>
Here is some normal text. It is a 12-point font. The table is in 8-point .
```{r example, echo=FALSE, results='asis'}
tmp <- data.frame(a=1:5, b=letters[1:5])
print( knitr::kable(tmp, row.names=FALSE))
```
Hope this is helpful,
