Adding line number when using rticles::elsevier_article

Question

I am using rticles::elsevier_article to write a manuscript. I am not able to add the linenumber properly. What I did:

      header-includes:
         - \usepackage{lineno}
         - \linenumbers
     output: 
        bookdown::pdf_book:
        base_format: rticles::elsevier_article

But, in this case when having equations the line numbers are not added, and neither the sections where the equations are embedded. Any suggestion?

Seems like your YAML is malformatted. Better to do it like this:

bookdown::pdf_book:
  base_format: rticles::elsevier_article
  includes:
    in_header: "preamble.tex"

Then add additional LaTeX header lines to preamble.tex:

\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{lineno}
\linenumbers

Example

index.Rmd

--- 
title: "A Minimal Book Example"
author: "You"
date: "`r Sys.Date()`"
site: bookdown::bookdown_site
output:
  bookdown::pdf_book:
    base_format: rticles::elsevier_article
    includes:
      in_header: "preamble.tex"
abstract: "This is your awesome abstract"

```{r, results='asis'}
cat(

(The code chunk requires the stringi package to be installed.)
