See the inputenc package documentation for explanation. Type H for immediate help. ...

l.387 explained by ``gdp''。

Try running pandoc with --latex-engine=xelatex. pandoc: Error producing PDF from TeX source Error: pandoc document conversion failed with error 43 Execution halted

I did includes all files in the working directory but still don't know why.

Answer 1

I could not comment on the previous post by scoa, but the YAML header argument misses a space and should read:

output:
  pdf_document:
    latex_engine: xelatex

Answer 2

I had a similar problem once. Try installing Pandoc on your machine, reboot and try again. You can download Pandoc here .

Also, you'd most likely need to install MiKTeX.

I hope this helps.

Answer 3

This is an encoding error. The easiest way to deal with it is to add the following line in the YAML preamble of your document.

output:
  pdf_document:
    latex_engine:xelatex
