Hi there!

I try to build he book of the "bookdown-demo" example. Following instructions at https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/get-started.html, to do that, I click Build Book in the Build tab in RStudio, but I get the following error:

==> rmarkdown::render_site(encoding = 'UTF-8')

What can I do to fix it?

I am using RStudio 1.3.1093 on Mac OS X 10_13_6.

Thanks.

This has been fixed by https://github.com/rstudio/rmarkdown/pull/1916. You can install the development version of rmarkdown via

remotes::install_github('rstudio/rmarkdown')

That said, I guess it was because you installed Pandoc by yourself (via Homebrew?). Since you are using RStudio, you don't need to install Pandoc separately: https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown-cookbook/install-pandoc.html

Thanks, yihui. I could bypass the issue by closing RStudio and rendering the site on the command line (and installing pandoc-citeproc via Homebrew.

Okay. It will be great if you could test the development version of rmarkdown, though.
