[rocker/verse] xelatex not found when building pdf with bookdown

[RLesur]

I plan to use rocker/verse to build bookdown websites with GitLab Pages and GitLab CI (you can see a demo website here)
All work fine with pdflatex as latex_engine. But, when I try to use xelatex instead of pdflatex, I get the following error:

sh: 1: xelatex: not found

Thanks a lot for your work, Rocker rocks! :metal:

So if you want to do, then maybe you need to build on our containers and extend them with xelatex and whatever is needed.

We appreciate you bringing this our attention, but we cannot possibly accomodate all imaginable use cases for each and every CRAN package.

Thanks! I will do that.
