I am not sure why I get the following error message while converting markdown to PDF with a template:
[WARNING] Could not parse YAML metadata at line 10 column 1: Unexpected 'd'
Here is the command I use to build the document:
pandoc --template eisvogel -o output.pdf input.md
Here is the markdown file:
---
titlepage: true
title: Some title
author: [Author]
date: "2022-11-25"
colorlinks: true
disable-header-and-footer: true
---
# Quick Introduction
A famous guy once said:
The error occurs when I add the disable-header-and-footer: true. If this line is not here, then the Pandoc processes the document.
The space after the colon in the offending line is not a normal (ASCII) space but the Unicode character U+202F, "Narrow Non-Break Space". The YAML parser doesn't see a key-value pair but a single word because of that. Replace it with an ASCII space and everything should work.

곽민승 is my name, and r markdown packages are installed,
pandoc verson is 2.18,
saving is UTF-8
I know there are lots of solution in google, but I was in hurry because homework due date is tomorrow. PLEASE help me.
This is likely the result of a bug in pandoc's Lua subsystem before 2.19: filenames were assumed to be UTF-8 encoded instead using the local encoding on Windows. The program gets confused by the Korean characters in the path (your name). Try upgrading pandoc, or, better yet, use Quarto.
I have the following gradle task:
processResources {
inputs.properties(project.properties.findAll { it.value instanceof String })
filesMatching("**/*.yaml") {
filteringCharset = 'UTF-8'
expand project.properties
}
}
that I use to process a spring boot application.yaml file that contains variable placeholders.
How can I escape a whole log pattern without escaping every single special character, thus keeping the pattern clean?
application.yaml:

Given that your YAML files contains character which are interpreted as tokens by the expand method, relying on Groovy's SimpleTemplateEngine, you should use an alternative method like the filter methods.
The documentation shows a number of examples of filter. By using the underlying Ant ReplaceTokens you might have better luck, as it uses #token# as the notation.
I am exporting an rmarkdown file to odt, to html, and to pdf. But let's focus on the odt export first.
I want to have an address as part of the YAML header:
---
title: Test Multi
address:
First Name
Institute
Street
City
output:
odt_document:
template: default.opendocument
---
# Just a test document
With some text
This address should then be exported as part of the 'header'. Therefore, I have added the following snippet into the default odt-template (saved as default.opendocument):
$if(address)$
<text:p text:style-name="Author">$address$</text:p>
$endif$
But at the export the line breaks are lost:
Following this answer I tried pipes as in
---
title: Test Multi
address: |
| First Name
| Institute
| Street
| City
output:
odt_document:
template: default.opendocument
---
# Just a test document
With some text
But then, the address is missing completely from the odt.
So, my question is: How can I have the multi-line address from the YAML added to the export preserving the line breaks?
PS: I am using rmarkdown 1.12 and pandoc-2.7.3
There are two things going on.
As you discovered, you need address: | for YAML to not gobble up your line-breaks.
But the string is treated by pandoc as markdown and pandoc's markdown by default treats linebreaks inside a paragraph as spaces. But you can escape them:
address: |
First Name \
Institute \
Street \
City
I'm automating a pdf report using rmarkdown. I use a macro to run the code. I can run the code once and it works with no problems. When I call the macro again, it appears to work but when creating a pdf, I get the error "LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}"
This is what I get the first time:

Output created: Report-254-225573.pdf
The second time, I call the same code but only change the report name, so the data is the same and I get.

So why does it work once and not a second time? If I exit RStudio and then s start it up again, it appears to work. I've tried to
.rs.restartR() to no avail. as well as
rm(list = ls(envir = globalenv()),envir = globalenv())
gc() to clean things up.
Any thoughts? I appreciate reading through all this.
I do not know if I had the same issue. But I experienced that if I compiled my document it worked the first time and failed the second. I suspected a cache issue and added cache.rebuild=T to
<<echo=F, cache=T, message=F, warning=F, `>>=
set_parent('../../Parent.Rnw')
#
Just FIY, the header of the parent does not only include the latex info but also sources my main .R file with the calculations.
Anyway, if someone experience a similar problem try to add cache.rebuild=T to your included script(s).
I am trying to implement encryption a Tomcat Server on AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
I have just followed this, and created a .ebextensions/https-instance.config file.
But when I deploy to the server, I get:
The configuration file .ebextensions/https-instance.config in
application version thewhozoo-1.0.0.25 contains invalid YAML or JSON.
YAML exception: Invalid Yaml: while scanning a simple key in
"", line 4, column 1: -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ^ could not
found expected ':' in "", line 5, column 1:
MIIDnDCCAoACCQCzIxYAYJicIjANBgkq ... ^ , JSON exception: Invalid JSON:
Unexpected character (f) at position 0.. Update the configuration
file.
What I am doing incorrectly?
UPDATE
I changed the file to:
But get the following:
The configuration file .ebextensions/https-instance.config in
application version thewhozoo-1.0.0.31 contains invalid YAML or JSON.
YAML exception: Invalid Yaml: while parsing a block mapping in
"", line 7, column 5: mode: "000400" ^ expected ,
but found Scalar in "", line 32, column 6: -----END

character (p) at position 0.. Update the configuration file.
You'll have to indent your certificate data more than the column of content:
files:
/etc/pki/tls/certs/server.crt:
content: |
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----
MI.......
Wk.......
That is the way the literal scalar in block style works. As you can have empty lines in such a literal scalar, as well as (further) indented lines, the parser would otherwise not know that your scalar had ended or not (that is would not assume /etc/pki/tls/certs/server.key: to be part of the literal scalar).
