Compiling HTML files is also failing under pandoc 2.0.1 (installed via homebrew). Using the following as test.Rmd

---
title: Hello World
output: html_document
---

A sample document.

```{r}
1 + 1  # a line of code
```

Another paragraph.

I get the following error when attempting to render:

$ Rscript -e "library(rmarkdown);render('test.Rmd')"

Duplicate of #1120

devtools::install_github("rstudio/rmarkdown")

Or if you use RStudio, you can remove Pandoc brew remove pandoc, since RStudio has a built-in version of Pandoc (1.19).

I'm having the same set of issues, using the biclust example. My error is:

I've also tried R 3.4.2.

This all arose as a result of getting a new laptop and having to get everything up and running again. The old laptop (and another development machine) are remotely accessible, so relatively okay for now. Any guidance or help would be greatly appreciated. Many sincere thanks for all the work you all do.

@ajaypillarisetti Have you tried the development versions of flexdashboard and knitr?

devtools::install_github(c('yihui/knitr', 'rstudio/flexdashboard'))

[ajaypillarisetti]

Thanks @yihui. I have tried the dev versions without any luck and have tried using both pandoc installed via brew (2.0.2) and the RStudio pandoc (1.19.2.1).

[yihui]

@ajaypillarisetti I can reproduce it with the following minimal example, and will try to fix it ASAP (sounds like a problem caused by #820). Thanks for the report!

@ajaypillarisetti Fixed now (this has nothing to do with the version of Pandoc). You can install the development version via

devtools::install_github('rstudio/rmarkdown')

Thanks again!

[ajaypillarisetti]

@yihui Thank you very much!
