I'm having a problem when compiling this rmarkdown file to pdf in RStudio. This problems is that, in the pdf file, the pdf compiler doesn't create a new page when the text reaches the bottom (about 1/2-way through) and appears to continue to write the remaining text onto an invisible extended page, like it doesn't know that page size or margins. If I take the .tex file from rmarkdown and load it into TeXworks, the pdf version has the same problem. I've used R markdown for several years and have never seen this, though this is the first time I've had all Headers (#, ##, ###) in the file. Adding 'normal' text under one of the headers does not help. Here're are the file contents. Sorry it's so long but it has to be long to display the problem. Any help is welcome.
