Error: pandoc document conversion failed with error 11

Question

Sometimes when I try to knit some error-free code, I will get this warning. Should I resolves by updating pandoc to the latest version? If so, how should I do it?

I've tried the following so far: 1. Uninstalled, reinstalled and upgraded rmarkdown package 2. Downloaded pandoc 2.7.3 and installed it

But when I use pandoc_version() , I will still get "2.6"

Currently, I have R 3.6.1, RStudio 1.2.1335, rmarkdown 1.16, pandoc 2.6.

This is the exact error I got:

Access violation in generated code when reading 0xffffffffffffffff

Answer 1

I just discovered downloading and installing the latest version of RStudio can solve this problem. The latest version contains pandoc 2.7.2.
