 - The `encoding` argument is no longer passed to the `intermediates_generator` of R Markdown output formats. The `intermediates_generator` function can only accept arguments `input_file` and `intermediates_dir` now (see `?rmarkdown::output_format`). This is a breaking change to developers. If you are an output format developer, you have to remove the `encoding` argument in your `intermediates_generator` if your output format uses this function.
