R Language Creating reports with RMarkdown Including LaTeX Preample Commands
Example
There are two possible ways of including LaTeX preamble commands (e.g. \usepackage) in a RMarkdown document.
1. Using the YAML option header-includes:
---
title: "Including LaTeX Preample Commands in RMarkdown"
header-includes:
- \renewcommand{\familydefault}{cmss}
- \usepackage[cm, slantedGreek]{sfmath}
- \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
output: pdf_document
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE, external=T)
```

2. Including External Commands with includes, in_header
---
title: "Including LaTeX Preample Commands in RMarkdown"
output:
pdf_document:
includes:
in_header: includes.tex
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE, external=T)
```
# Section 1
As you can see, this text uses the Computer Modern Font!
Here, the content of includes.tex are the same three commands we included with header-includes.
Writing a whole new template
A possible third option is to write your own LaTex template and include it with template. But this covers a lot more of the structure than only the preamble.

title: "My Template"
author: "Martin Schmelzer"
output:
pdf_document:
template: myTemplate.tex
