New line in fig.cap

[Marcell]

Hi,

My question is that is there a way to add a new line to a figures caption in rmd when creating a latex pdf file?

Thank you for your answer in advance,

Do you have an example of what you want to achieve exactly ?

Here is a small example of adding a linebreak in caption for pdf document. It implies using latex code in the figure caption and the caption tex package that allows that, so it is for PDF output only

Solution1 : requires escaping

---
title: Test
output: 
  pdf_document:
    keep_tex: true
    extra_dependencies: caption
---

```{r, fig.cap="caption \\linebreak with a new line"}
plot(1:10)
```

Solution2: based on bookdown format and text reference

---
title: Test
output: 
  bookdown::pdf_document2:
    keep_tex: true
    extra_dependencies: caption
---

(ref:test) A caption \linebreak with a new line

```{r, fig.cap= "(ref:test)"}
plot(1:10)
```
