This first chunk creates the extra lines for the latex header. We use the cat engine to save the content of the chunk to a file specified in the engine.opts option. This file will be passed to pandoc via the --include-in-header (or -H) option.

% Extra header text for latex
\usepackage{mathpazo}
\usepackage[a4paper,margin=2cm]{geometry}

% use append=TRUE for cat() to append to an existing file

We can then do some simple R math.
