I'm just trying creating a pdf file with RMardown and after installing the tinytex package as follows:
tinytex::install_tinytex()
If I set at the very top of the .RMd doc the following wording:
output:
pdf_document: default
latex_engine: xelatex
I get back this error
! Package inputenc Error: Unicode character σ (U 03C3) (inputenc) not set up for use with LaTeX.
Try other LaTeX engines instead (e.g., xelatex) if you are using pdflatex. See https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown-cookbook/latex-unicode.html
Errore: LaTeX failed to compile REPORT-CODES.tex. See https://yihui.org/tinytex/r/#debugging for debugging tips. See REPORT-CODES.log for more info
While If I try reporting it as suggested in other post (or like this):
output:
pdf_document: default
latex_engine: xelatex
The error is:
Errore in yaml::yaml.load(..., eval.expr = TRUE) :
Scanner error: mapping values are not allowed in this context at line 6, column 17
Chiamate: <Anonymous> ... parse_yaml_front_matter -> yaml_load -> <Anonymous>
Where actually line 6 and 7 are the one for pdf_document
and latex_engine
respectively. Does anyone knows how to fix this?
