title: "An analysis of `r nrow(mtcars)` cars"
---
The title ends up above the header image. 
```{r echo=FALSE, out.width='100%'}
knitr::include_graphics('D:/Users/james/ui.png')
```

I have gone through many documents and am still not able to find a solution. The footer needs caption on the left side and a page number on the right side. But not sure on how to generate automatically the page numbers. I am very new to this rmarkdown and need some help figuring it out.

You can put any HTML tag including the image in the title itself:
