Japanese

[kizen777]

I would like to use it for my thesis in Japanese, but to output it in Japanese on your template, it was garbled.

I have just started using Rstudio and found your excellent template in RMarkdown and would be happy to modify it to my graduate school of Health and Sports Sciences format for use.

Thanks for flagging this! :)

Can you show me an example of Japanese input, and the garbled output, so I can have a look at what the issue is?

The part before "Why use it?" in the Introduction is now in Japanese as attached. BTW, Is this the correct way to contact you?

Fonts are specified: "MS Mincho" for Japanese and Times "New Roman for Roman" for Europe, US matters.

I just looked into this:

As per this latex stack exchange, one way to write Japanese characters in LaTeX is to

• use the xelatex LaTeX engine instead of pdflatex (which oxforddown uses by default)
• add the LaTeX package xeCJK

To do this with oxforddown, adjust the 'output details' section of index.Rmd to the following:

header-includes:
  - \usepackage{xeCJK}
output:
  bookdown::pdf_book:
    latex_engine: xelatex
    citation_pa... (etc.)

Does this work?

before input, Japanese characters got an Error message: register() で: Can't find generic scale_type in package ggplot2 to register S3 method. yaml::yaml.load(..., eval.expr = TRUE) でエラー: Parser error: while parsing a block collection at line 152, column 3 did not find expected '-' indicator at line 153, column 3 呼び出し: ... parse_yaml_front_matter -> yaml_load -> 実行が停止されました When I add #####################

Can you confirm that you used exactly the same indentation as in my example above? It seems like this is just a parsing error of the YAML header. So, for example, you must put two spaces before " - \usepackage{xeCJK}".

As a starting point, try creating a new, R Markdown file that contains only the following, and knit it:

---
header-includes:
  - \usepackage{xeCJK}
output: 
  pdf_document:
    latex_engine: xelatex
---

Can you confirm that this works?

[kizen777]

I did a new RMarkdown with only 4 lines and put two spaces before " -\usepackage{xeCJK} then showed the following;
