one_column doesn't always work #49

I was trying to get a one column document, and while there are no errors reported, the pdf produced is empty (though the .tex is produced and can be processed separately, I don't understand enough to know why the result is empty).

I'm attaching a MWE that demonstrates this if you set one_column: true (attachment is .txt to satisfy Github; rename to .Rmd).

I have pandoc 2.1.3 and other session info is below. I process via:

library("rmarkdown")
render("MWE.Rmd")

Thanks for this very nice package by the way, and any assistance.

If I enable one column mode then I may need to add more filler material to get all chunks to appear.

We have seen the same in two-column mode. I suspect that this is a "feature" of the pnas.cls trying to balance columns. I have no answer or solution.

The only cue I have, if there is there is one, is that you need the 'final' page you want to appear to be full. Or nearly full.

OK, thanks. My original discovery of this issue was on a larger document, but still only about a half page worth of material, which is consistent with your thinking. Thanks again for looking at it.

We had odd issues at the end of larger documents too when we converted the Rcpp vignettes. The PNAS style seems fiddly :-/ Which is a pity as it is otherwise quite nice.
