pandoc: unrecognized option `--lua-filter=latex/sidebar.lua'

[ignacio82]

I'm trying to compile a book with bookdown and I get the following error:

bookdown::render_book("index.Rmd", output_format = "bookdown::pdf_book")

/usr/lib/rstudio-server/bin/pandoc/pandoc +RTS -K512m -RTS _main.utf8.md --to latex --from markdown+autolink_bare_uris+ascii_identifiers+tex_math_single_backslash --output _main.tex --table-of-contents --toc-depth 2 --self-contained --number-sections --highlight-style tango --latex-engine xelatex --natbib --include-in-header latex/preamble.tex --include-before-body latex/before_body.tex --include-after-body latex/after_body.tex --top-level-division=chapter --lua-filter=latex/sidebar.lua --variable tables=yes --standalone 
pandoc: unrecognized option `--lua-filter=latex/sidebar.lua'
Try pandoc --help for more information.
Error: pandoc document conversion failed with error 2

Am I doing something wrong?

I have the same error. Did you fix it?

[ignacio82]

@yuh18023 no luck yet. Let me know if you figure out a solution.

Could you provide a minimal, self-contained, and reproducible example? Please also include your session info:

devtools::session_info('bookdown')

[yuh18023]

I updated the pandoc to the latest version. And it works!

Great. Thanks!

FYI, the preview version of RStudio ships Pandoc 2.x: https://yihui.name/en/2018/06/time-for-pandoc-2-x/
