How to write Chinese report using R Markdown

• If you directly implement with Chinese, it will throw error:
  ! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8: not set up for use with LaTeX. Try running pandoc with –latex-engine=xelatex.

• Then you should put the following code in the head of the R markdown file:

title: Your File Title
author: Your Name
output:  
  pdf_document:
    latex_engine: xelatex

• Though now it can be implemented, all Chinese disappear. So you should add a new latex file header to the R markdown file using the following code.

title: Your File Title
author: Your Name
outputs:  
  pdf_document:
    includes:
      in_header: header.tex
    latex_engine: xelatex

• Now I will give you the content of header.tex file, which should be put in the same folder of your R markdown file.
