How to change RMarkdown page margins using tufte handout class

Question

I would like to reduce the page margins when using the

tufte_handout

RMarkdown template. I have tried adding

geometry: margin = 20cm

to the YAML, but this doesn't seem to work. Is it possible without having to change the margins directly in the template file?

Answer 1

Use header-incudes (top-level YAML option):

header-includes:
  - \geometry{margin=1in}
