Package inputenc Error & Error: pandoc document conversion failed with error 43

问题

I was trying to produce a PDF file with the knitr in RStudio but I encountered a problem. I have read a lot of solutions found on stack overflow and google but they are not very helpful. Could anyone please help me with this? Much obliged!

The error is shown as below:

output file: final_project.knit.md

I have tried most solutions I can find from stack overflow and it did not work. So I am afraid solutions like adding latex_engine: xelatex will also fail to solve this.

Could anyone please help me? Thanks a lot!

Best

I have figured out what the problem is, that you have to choose WINDOWS-1252 as your text encoding.

If you have set other types as default, change it at tools> global options > code > saving, choose [Ask] in the default text encoding.

Hope that works for you.
