align left figure caption in R markdown
0
figure captions in R markdown to PDF are centered by default. here's an example:
---
title: "test"
output: pdf_document
---
(where test_pic.jpg is a local jpg file)
any ideas how to align the caption left?
I found how to change the size, using special attributes:
{#id .class width=30%}
but what's the special attribute to align left?

Please place a sample of the R markdown. I'm assuming (by the antiquated font) that this is a PDF but not all R markdown files produce PDFs so it would help the latex-rmarkdown-ers help you faster (and, perhaps, add a latex tag)

Yes, to align the caption left in PDF output from Rmarkdown we can use one chunk per image, with knitr::include_graphics in the chunk to display the image (this creates the LaTeX for the image), and a little LaTeX that controls the alignment of the caption:
---
title: "Untitled"
output:
pdf_document:
includes:
in_header: file.tex
---
Here are some examples of `knitr::include_graphics` with the code chunk options being used to control the size and location:
```{r fig.align="left", out.width = "50%", fig.cap="left-aligned"}
knitr::include_graphics("rrtools-steps-carbon.png")
```
```{r fig.align="center", out.width = "30%", fig.cap="center aligned"}
knitr::include_graphics("rrtools-steps-carbon.png")
```
```{r fig.align="right", out.width = "20%", fig.cap="right aligned"}
knitr::include_graphics("rrtools-steps-carbon.png")
```
And here is file.tex, which should be in the same directory as the RMarkdown file:
usepackage[font=small,format=plain,labelfont=bf,up,textfont=normal,up,justification=justified,singlelinecheck=false]{caption}
And here's a screenshot of part of the output:

thanks! is there any resources where I can learn what the arguments in the TeX file mean? I need one chunk per image, right? I can't have one chunk for several images (since the caption is in the header of the chunk)?

yes, one chunk per caption. Though you could have multiple images produced by one chunk. As for a resource... google? Honestly, LaTeX is might as well be a bunch hopeful incantations to me, and I usually end up getting them from tex.stackexchange.com after googling
