title: R Markdown - changing font size and font type in html output
body: <p>I am using R Markdown in RStudio and the knit HTML option to create HTML output. However, the font used in the ouput for plain text blocks is rather small and I would like to change it to a differnt font and increase the font size. Can someone show an example how to set the output font - workable without a lot of knowledge in html?</p>
  
  <p>So far I tried at the top of my markdown document, but this doesn't work. </p>
