Table spacing issue converting to PDF via LaTeX with pandoc

Question

I\'m facing the issue that in R texreg() doesn\'t seem to break the lines in the notes below the table. Also the margins between the models are not extended equally

Answer 1

Here I gladly quote the great answer I received from Fran at https://tex.stackexchange.com/.

According to him the custom note ends in a \multicolumn in the LaTeX code. Thus we cannot use line break commands like par or \\. But we can achieve the automatic line break with \parbox. If we still want a custom line break we can use four backslashes \\\\. For better formatting we use \\vspace{2pt}. To give even the Coefficients and the GOFs more space we can add \renewcommand\arraystretch{1.3} (default is 1) right before the R chunk:

\renewcommand\arraystretch{1.3}  

```{r results="asis", echo = TRUE, comment = FALSE, message = FALSE}

library(texreg)
texreg(list(lm1, lm2, lm3), custom.note = "\\parbox{.4\\linewidth}
{\\vspace{2pt}Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, 
sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna 
aliquyam. \\\\ Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, 
sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna

```
