knit | The solution to the Enigma

I often create fairly large dashboards with R Markdown. Every time I create a new output (e.g., a new chunk containing an additional table or chart), I want to check for any display issues. My current workflow for doing this is slow for two reasons:

1. I want to test in the browser, but there doesn't seem to be an option to knit a document directly to the browser, so I have to knit to the default window and then click "Open in Browser" (see also here When knitting RMarkdown to HTML with RStudio, is it possible to view directly in browser, instead than previewing in a window?);
2. I do not know of a way to only knit a subset of chunks. For example, is there a way to knit in "test" mode, whereby only certain marked chunks are knitted?

Thanks for any advice.

If I use \FloatBarrier to maintain the desired order of the document, I get the following error and can't knit the PDF (specifically happens with PDF). It worked probably six months ago.

For my jekyll blog, I'm knitting Rmd to Md for the posts. At somewhere (preferably top), I want to programmatically add a link to view the source page (Rmd) hosted under _sources folder in top level directory.

Similar implementation can be found at https://yihui.org/en/about/ (at the left sidebar- Edit this page option)

Can this be done by some modification in custom knit command? OR Some html-include with liquid syntax should be used?

I bring this question over from tex exchange because it didn't get much attention there The answer I got doesn't apply to tables longer than 3 rows. Please see how I could change my code.

On a fresh install of R, Rtools, Rstudio on Windows 10, I am unable to knit in PDF (pdflatex or xelatex) the following rmarkdown file consisting in a kableExtra table including "é" characters in cells.

I finished a project in R markdown and all I have to do is knit it as a word document, but there's this message error that I can't understand where I have made the mistake.

Error in yaml::yaml.load(..., eval.expr = TRUE) : Scanner error: mapping values are not allowed in this context at line 4, column 22 Calls: ... parse_yaml_front_matter -> yaml_load -> Execution halted

I looked at line 4 and it's just the date of the project and line 22 is an empty line so they're not the issue. Can anyone translate what the error means? Is it one of the chunk codes or any other error? Please and thank you These are the first 22 lines of the code(the language used is my country's language, just information):

When I knit the R-Markdown file for the APA-styled document, I saw that "et al" is not used in the output pdf file, instead the author names were not suppressed but written each time. I found the answer to this problem for pdf outputs here:

I have an RMarkdown document that includes an example YAML file, currently in the form:

I have dusted off an old LaTeX template that I used with RMarkdown some time ago (when it worked), updated to the latest R, RMarkdown, tinytex etc.

When I try to knit the document, it gives an error that it cannot find the Accanthis font:

! Package fontspec Error: The font "AccanthisADFStdNo3-Regular" cannot be (fontspec) found.

! name = AccanthisADFStdNo3-Regular, rootname = AccanthisADFStdNo3-Regular, pointsize =

! mktexmf: empty or non-existent rootfile! ...

This is called from the template with lines:

\usepackage{fontspec}

\setmainfont{AccanthisADFStdNo3}[ UprightFont = *-Regular, ItalicFont = *-Italic, BoldFont = *-Bold, BoldItalicFont = *-BoldItalic, Ligatures={TeX,NoRequired}, ]

TinyTex can see the font in that tinytex::tlmgr_search("/AccanthisADFStdNo3-Regular[.](tfm|afm|mf|otf)") locates an.otf file

but running from the command line mktextfm AccanthisADFStdNo3-Regular gives "mktexmf: empty or non-existent rootfile!" and is looking for a .mf file that does not exist.

Any idea what the cause of this is? Thanks
