output font size change, or width change?

[xiangao]

How to change the font size in output? Currently the output always folds because it exceeds the width. See the example:

reg mpg price

  Source |       SS           df       MS      Number of obs 

= 74 -------------+---------------------------------- F(1, 72)
= 20.26 Model | 536.541807 1 536.541807 Prob > F
= 0.0000 Residual | 1906.91765 72 26.4849674 R-squared
= 0.2196 -------------+---------------------------------- Adj R-squared = 0.2087 Total | 2443.45946 73 33.4720474 Root MSE
= 5.1464

Which output format are you rendering to: html_document, or pdf_document or word_document or something else?

The easiest way to achieve this for pdf_document is to set the fontsize option in the YAML header to say 10pt, e.g.

---
title: "Make pdf font smaller"
author: "Name"
date: "2023-03-14"
output: pdf_document
fontsize: 10pt
---

```{r message=FALSE}
library(Statamarkdown)

sysuse auto, clear
regress mpg price

For HTML output you can change the font size using CSS, e.g. here the body font is the normal text in the document and the pre font is for the code chunks.

---
title: "Some HTML settings"
output: html_document
---

```{css echo=FALSE}
body {
  font-size: 10px;
}

pre {
  font-size: 10px;
}

library(Statamarkdown)

Some normal/body text.

* Some pre text
sysuse auto, clear
reg mpg price

Thanks, Tom! I continue to learn from you!

My pleasure Doug.

There are many other ways as well.

For example, for pdf_document you could reduce the margin around the document (here setting to 1 inch on all sides).

---
title: "PDF with small margins"
geometry: margin=1in
output: pdf_document
---

For html_document you could make the body wider - there seem to be many ways to achieve this in CSS, one way is (I find Stackoverflow examples using max-width and don't really know which is preferable).

```{css echo=FALSE}
body {
  min-width: 100% !important;
}

And for `word_document`, you can make a template document with the margins and heading and paragraph styles (with those styles having the desired font sizes) of your choosing and then specify that as your `reference_docx`.

````rmarkdown
---
title: "Fancy Word doc"
output:
  word_document:
    reference_docx: my-nice-word-template.docx
---

And there are the equivalents of these in Quarto too (just sometimes an option name changes slightly).

Xiangoa,

You might also need to think about your linesize setting in Stata. You can type

display c(linesize)

In Stata. I think you want to set a wider margin in Stata.

Thank you, Tom and Doug! "set linesize 96" works for me. Good to know these tricks!
