[BlindRUG] Using Rterm with Rmarkdown

[Godfrey, Jonathan]

Hello Nicholas,

RStudio comes with its own version of Pandoc so it will find it even if the full version is not on the system path.

I recommend you grab a copy of pandoc and install it separately. The most recent version I installed created a folder for pandoc under program files as against older versions that made a folder under my user profile. This newer version also updated the system path variable for Windows so that it will be visible to all other software.

As a consequence, I recommend that everyone update to a more recent version of pandoc to make life simpler all round.

I’m not sure about your other question. Surely the commands you want are in the R markdown file being compiled (?) You might need to explain what you’re doing a little more to get the best out of me on this one. <smiles>

Jonathan

Hello,

Question 1: For rmarkdown in rterm, I am getting the following error when I render a file "Error: pandoc version 1.12.3 or higher is required and was not found." I did the pandoc_available() command in rterm and got false. I did the same command in rstudio and got true. It seems like I have it, but not in rterm. How can I fix this if possible?

Second Question: In rterm, I can copy and paste the current code line I am typing in. Rterm won't let me copy previous errors or lines that have already been run. Is there a way to fix this?

Thank you,
Nicholas
