I'd like to add to the question Creating a footer for every page using R markdown: how do I do this for the first page of the document in addition to all the following pages?
In RStudio, this code:
---
title: "Test"
author: "Author Name"
header-includes:
- \usepackage{fancyhdr}
- \usepackage{lipsum}
- \pagestyle{fancy}
- \fancyhead[CO,CE]{This is fancy header}
- \fancyfoot[CO,CE]{And this is a fancy footer}
- \fancyfoot[LE,RO]{\thepage}
output: pdf_document
---
\lipsum[1-30]
Produces this at the bottom of pg1:
and this (oddly, shouldn't this go on the left because of the \fancyfoot[LE,RO]{\thepage}
?) at the bottom of pg2:
and this at the bottom of pg3:
