fonts to html output Rmarkdown

When I used \textsf{what} in the following document, "what" disappears in the output file. What should I do to prevent the problem while changing the font of "what"? Thanks!

title: "test"
author: test 
date: 11/23/2020
link-citations: yes
output:
  bookdown::html_document2: default

\textsf{what}

I believe \textsf{what} is latex syntax, which is for PDF output. You are rendering to HTML in your example.

as the @stefan suggested inline CSS in your Rmarkdown it would look like this

<style>
body, p {
  background-color: lightgray;
  color: black; 
  font-family: Arial Black;
}
</style>

what

I used Arial Black for the example to showcase the effects below.

If you want to change the font when rendering to html output you colud use some inline CSS e.g.

<p style = "font-family: Times New Roman; color: red;">what</p>

will print "what" in red using Times New Roman.
