r - Wrap text around plots in Markdown

Question

I am reasking this question: How to wrap text around plots in R Markdown?:

'Currently the default for R Markdown in R is to have one line of text in line with the plot but this looks very awkward and I would like to save space by having the text wrap around the plot (plot aligned left, with text wrapping on the right).'

Answer 1

It appears there is an easier way now by adding two arguments to the r chunk:

out.width= "65%", out.extra='style="float:right; padding:10px"'

This scales the plot to 65% of the page width and lets text float on the left side with a distance of 10px.
