title: How to add whitespace to an RMarkdown document?
body: <p>Is there a way to do it by adding latex code in the text or does the solution lie in (R)Markdown?</p>
  
  <p>No sign of a solution here: <a href="http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/pdf_document_format.html">http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/pdf_document_format.html</a></p>
  
  <p>At present I'm bodging a solution by adding my <code>monospace</code> signature to the bottom of the 1st page, to force the next section to start on page 2: <a href="https://github.com/Robinlovelace/Creating-maps-in-R/blob/master/intro-spatial-rl.pdf">https://github.com/Robinlovelace/Creating-maps-in-R/blob/master/intro-spatial-rl.pdf</a></p>
