Create a word document with markdown

Hi people,

I am trying to create a word document using markdown. How can I insert a table contain and a page break?

Thanks in advance

Hi Ana, welcome!
Adding page breaks to word output it's a little tricky, but there is an easy way to do it with the officedown package, see this example.that inserts a table of content and a page break after it.

---
title: "Example"
output: 
  officedown::rdocx_document
---
<!---BLOCK_TOC--->
<!---CHUNK_PAGEBREAK--->

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

## R Markdown

This is an R Markdown document. Markdown is a simple formatting syntax for authoring HTML, PDF, and MS Word documents. For more details on using R Markdown see <http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com>.

When you click the **Knit** button a document will be generated that includes both content as well as the output of any embedded R code chunks within the document. You can embed an R code chunk like this:

```{r cars}
summary(cars)
```

## Including Plots

You can also embed plots, for example:

```{r pressure, echo=FALSE}
plot(pressure)
```

Note that the `echo = FALSE` parameter was added to the code chunk to prevent printing of the R code that generated the plot.
