Hey I'm trying to use some latex in an R markdown file but I'm getting this error:
Try other LaTeX engines instead (e.g., xelatex) if you are using pdflatex. For R Markdown users, see https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown/pdf-document.html
Error: Failed to compile M5_collab.tex. See https://yihui.name/tinytex/r/#debugging for debugging tips. See M5_collab.log for more info.
In addition: There were 33 warnings (use warnings() to see them)
Execution halted
I've checked out the bookdown website and I've installed tinytex
install.packages("tinytex")
Can someone let me know what's going wrong? How can I solve this?
Thank you
I had the same problem as you.
In my case I wanted to generate a pdf file and received this message you received.
I solved the problem of defining latex_engine as follows:
---
title: "Report"
output:
pdf_document:
latex_engine: xelatex

Whenever I tried to knit R markdown in beamer presentation format, it keeps on giving me undefined control sequence.
It is fraustrating because it worked fine until yesterday and I have no idea what I changed that causes this error.
To show that my code is not the source of the problem, I simply tried to knit an empty page.
code:
---
title: "untitled"
output: beamer_presentation
---
Output:
output file: a.knit.md
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> ...{subsubsection}\addtobeamertemplate
{theorem begin}{\expandaft...
l.322 }{}
My original file returns the exaclty same error message.
I tried:
reinstall LaTeX
reinstall RStudio
upgrade all packages in R
Any idea how to fix this?
This was just fixed by #UlrikeFischer. #JosephWright is preparing a new beamer release as we speak, it should be available as beamer v3.67 on ctan tomorrow.
As a temporary workaround, place these two files in the folder of your .rmd file:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/josephwright/beamer/main/base/beamer.cls
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/josephwright/beamer/main/base/beamerbasesection.sty
(don't forget to delete these files again once you have the new beamer version, otherwise they might interfere with future updates)
I am new to RMarkdown!
I am trying to render a table with
{r results='asis'}
knitr::kable(tablex)
I had added the following chunks before the code chunk:
{r setup, include=FALSE, echo=FALSE}
require("knitr")
tablex<-read.csv("/tablex.csv",header=TRUE)
When I knit the .Rmd as PDF I get this error:
I was unable to find any missing LaTeX packages from the error log svm-rmarkdown-cv.log.
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> #{} >{\raggedleft \arraybackslash
}p{(\columnwidth - 4\tabcolsep ...
l.178 ...mnwidth - 4\tabcolsep) * \real{0.95}}#{}}
Error: LaTeX failed to compile svm-rmarkdown-cv.tex. See https://yihui.org/tinytex/r/#debugging for debugging tips. See svm-rmarkdown-cv.log for more info.
Execution halted
I had followed all the instructions on https://yihui.org/tinytex/r/#debugging and had updated all the Latex Package!
Any suggestions what I can do?
Are use your latex is is install properly, might be worth reinstalling
install.packages("tinytex")
library(tinytext)
tinytex::install_tinytex()
My RStudio(version 1.1.414) is not able to render a R Markdown file into HTML. I have a very simple R Markdown file called testHTML.Rmd:
---
title: "Untitled"
output:
html_document: default
---
## R Markdown
This is a test!
In my main R code, I am calling the render() statement as render('testHTML.Rmd'). I got the following error message related to regexp:
Error in gregexpr("(?)`r[ #]([^`]+)\\s*`", "---\ntitle:
\"Untitled\"\noutput:\n html_document: default\n \n---\n", : invalid
regular expression '(?<!(^| ))r[ #]([^]+)\s*`', reason 'Invalid
regexp'
Has anyone seen this error before when knit an R Markdown file? What is the solution?
For me updating all installed packages worked after I got the same error message.
The problem occured after updating RStudio to 1.1.463 and R to 3.5.2. I was asked to update knitr, rmarkdown and yaml ( I think, at least three packages were mentioned ). After updating yaml the error occured.
Updating all existing packages made the error disappear again. Hope this helps.
Lately I get a warning for my vignette on Win R Development Version when doing a cran check.
Files in the 'vignettes' directory but no files in 'inst/doc'
This warning only appears with the Win Dev version.
For Mac, AppVeyor and Travis no warning appears.
The problem is, I don't know what the warning wants to tell me.
As far as I know I do not have to put files in inst/doc.
Here is the complete warning message:
Files in the 'vignettes' directory but no files in 'inst/doc':
'Figures.d/Rlogo.png', 'Figures.d/distribution.pdf',
'Figures.d/distributionbar.pdf', 'Figures.d/gapsize.pdf',
'Figures.d/imputations.pdf', 'Figures.d/imputations2.pdf',
'Figures.d/sponsorlogo.jpg', 'Figures.d/statsna.png',
'Figures.d/tsairgap.png', 'Introduction.pdf', 'Introduction.tex',
'RJournal.sty'
In my case, I was getting this issue because I had specified my YAML as per #Claudia's answer, but I had specified rmarkdown as the VignetteBuilder in the DESCRIPTION file. Using VignetteBuilder: knitr in my DESCRIPTION file fixed the problem.
I had a similar issue with an Rmd vignette. I fixed it by changing the YAML header of the vignette to something like this:
---
author: "Name Surname"
date: "`r Sys.Date()`"
output: rmarkdown::html_vignette
vignette: >
%\VignetteEngine{knitr::knitr}
%\VignetteIndexEntry{Title of your vignette}
%\usepackage[UTF-8]{inputenc}
---
I fixed the problem with adding the .pdf output of my Vignette to inst/doc
Although I am not sure, if this is the supposed solution, it made the warning disappear.
I was getting the error on more than just the Win R Development version, but for me the fix was adding markdown and knitr in the Suggests field in the DESCRIPTION file. Then, I guess it was clear to the package compiler that the vignette was designated as a markdown/HTML doc.
These lines are in my markdown YAML header:
output: rmarkdown::html_vignette
vignette: >
%\VignetteIndexEntry{Example for estimating the case fatality ratio}
%\VignetteEngine{knitr::knitr}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
During the compiling of your R package, those files are generated and cause your issue.
You should install the package gitignore, then in the main folder you have to create a text file named ".gitignore" (no extension) and add the address of the files you want to ignore. For example, vignettes/*.pdf
When I try to knit to PDF I have this error:
! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char \u8:。 not set up for use with LaTeX.
See the inputenc package documentation for explanation.
Type H for immediate help.

Try running pandoc with --latex-engine=xelatex.
pandoc: Error producing PDF from TeX source
Error: pandoc document conversion failed with error 43
Execution halted
I did includes all files in the working directory but still don't know why.
I could not comment on the previous post by scoa, but the YAML header argument misses a space and should read:
output:
pdf_document:
latex_engine: xelatex
I had a similar problem once. Try installing Pandoc on your machine, reboot and try again. You can download Pandoc here.
Also, you'd most likely need to install MiKTeX.
I hope this helps.
This is an encoding error. The easiest way to deal with it is to add the following line in the YAML preamble of your document.
---
output:
pdf_document:
latex_engine:xelatex
