Dear Yihui,

Thanks for your time.

I am trying to knit the Rmd file to pdf, but the following shows. Could you help?

! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char 澶?(U+5927)  
(inputenc) not set up for use with LaTeX.

错误: Failed to compile 2_note_Introduction_to_data.tex. See 2_note_Introduction_to_data.log for more info.  
此外: Warning messages:  
1: 运行命令'"pdflatex" -halt-on-error -interaction=batchmode "2_note_Introduction_to_data.tex"'的状态是1  
2: In grepl("==> Fatal error occurred", x[i], fixed = TRUE) :  
输入的字符串1不适用于此语言环境  
停止执行  

Thanks so much!
Nina

This may not be an easy question without seeing the actual source document, but you could try latex_engine: xelatex under pdf_document (i.e. use XeLaTeX to compile the document): https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown/pdf-document.html

Hi! I also encountered the same problem, in my case it was:

! LaTeX Error: Unicode character ^^[ (U+001B)
               not set up for use with LaTeX.

I realized that this came from the message when I load a package that has a lengthy message once loaded. I solved this by adding "include = FALSE" in the chunk so the lengthy message is not included when the rmd file is being knit to pdf.

Hope this helps.

Hi ! I have also encountered similar problem and I am trying to debug it but not able to find the solution.
following was the ERROR message in my case:

! LaTeX Error: Unicode character ○ (U+25CB)
not set up for use with LaTeX.

Error: LaTeX failed to compile Case_study-Bellabeat.tex. See https://yihui.org/tinytex/r/#debugging for debugging tips. See Case_study-Bellabeat.log for more info.

[cderv]

Are you using a LaTeX engine that supports Unicode ? pdflatex the defauilt does not
See our tips about that https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown-cookbook/latex-unicode.html

[VrishaliSingam]

Thank you for your reply. I was running the code in R Markdown ( RStudio) and the Markdown file included symbols i.e. The White Circles.
I deleted those symbols from my Text and the Error resolved.

Hello Yihui,

I am having issues with using R markdown and trying to knit into a pdf. This issue shows up:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.20 (MiKTeX 2.9.7000)

log4cxx: setFile(/Users/hoferziccardi/Library/Application Support/MiKTeX/texmfs/data/miktex/log/pdflatex.log,true) call failed.

log4cxx: IO Exception : status code = 13

log4cxx: No output stream or file set for the appender named [RollingLogFile].

Sorry, but pdflatex did not succeed.

The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:

Error: Failed to compile working_List_de_Exercício_1_pdf.tex. See https://yihui.name/tinytex/r/#debugging for debugging tips.

I'm not sure how to resolve this!

[yihui]

You may try to uninstall MiKTeX and install TinyTeX instead.

Yihui, I appreciate you taking the time to answer.

I should have said this before, but I use a Mac.

I uninstalled MiKTeX and went into RStudio, pasting the following code to try to install it:

install.packages('tinytex')
tinytex::install_tinytex()

Is this correct?

The response was:

add_link_dir_dir: destination /usr/local/bin not writable, no links from /Users/hoferziccardi/Library/TinyTeX/bin/x86_64-darwin.

tlmgr: An error has occurred. See above messages. Exiting.

add of symlinks had 1 error(s), see messages above.

Error: Failed to install TinyTeX

In addition: Warning message:

Detected an existing tlmgr at /Users/hoferziccardi/Library/TinyTeX/bin/x86_64-darwin/tlmgr. It seems TeX Live has been installed (check tinytex::tinytex_root()). You are recommended to uninstall it, although TinyTeX should work well alongside another LaTeX distribution if a LaTeX document is compiled through tinytex::latexmk()

Is this because its a Mac? Should I install something else? I did try installing Mactex first (before even attempting Miktex) and it still gave an error message (can't remember which one, but it wouldn't let me knit to a pdf).

I'm new to R though, so I could just be making a stupid mistake and not be realizing it.

What should I do? Also, regarding it detecting an existing tlmgr I'm not sure what they mean by this. I definitely uninstalled the Miktex and Mactex I had installed earlier and emptied the bin.

[yihui]

It seems your TinyTeX installation was mostly successful. Please make sure all your R packages are up-to-date: https://yihui.name/en/2017/05/when-in-doubt-upgrade/

After that, quit and reopen RStudio, then retry to compile R Markdown to PDF.

If it still does not work, please file a Github issue to the tinytex repo.

same problem, doesn't help

[scottkosty]

I know this is late, but in case anyone else comes across this: I wonder if the issue could be the tilde, ~, in the path. You could try changing to the directory (e.g., in R with setwd()) before trying to compile. In general, tinytex::latexmk() will not work with a ~ in the path to the file. You can either change directories manually, or you could try putting \string just before the tilde in the file name argument.

First, thank you for replying. Second, I posted the question because I was really frustrated after following all the steps you suggest for debugging. Also, I was not sure what the error/warning was about, since I have already updated and reinstalled back everything. At the end, the issue was a misplaced character in a latex syntax. So it was more a series of unfortunate events. I guess that identifying what an error is about is more of an art than a science. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer though. Thanks

[yihui]

Sorry to hear that! In this case, a minimal reproducible example can help a lot when you ask this type of questions. You might be able to figure it out sooner by yourself as you minimize your example. When you have time, I recommend watching Jenny's talk at this year's rstudio::conf. The video is not available yet, but the slides are helpful enough (especially page 37): https://speakerdeck.com/jennybc/object-of-type-closure-is-not-subsettable?slide=37

The way I solved it was: 1) I carefully followed the steps recommended here. 2) I was creating a reprex, and that's how I realized my own mistake; after all, I was able to solve it without asking any further. I'd suggest you check the slides Yihui Xie linked in the previous reply. (As they say "To find a needle, try looking in a smaller stack") Try creating a reprex, it may sound time-consuming, but I bet it will help you.

Hello! I am aware there was a problem with fig.align and knitting a pdf a while back. (rstudio/rmarkdown#325) But I am having this problem now.

When I remove the fig.align the document knits to PDF without problems, but when I include it, only the .tex file is produced and the console shows the following message at the end:

I had to change my user to julian without accent now it works so I can't tell you if the other option work. Bye!

[yihui]

Okay, at least you have confirmed that TeX Live doesn't work when the username contains non-ASCII characters. Thanks!

You no longer need to change your username if you don't want to: #1089 (reply in thread)

Hi Yihui, I'm having problems with using pdfpages package with rmarkdown. I want to insert a multipage PDF into my rmarkdown rendered PDF document. I'm using tinytex.

The yaml has \usepackage{pdfpages}

and in the body of the rmarkdown I have \includepdf[pages=-]{test.pdf}

I keep getting this error:
! Undefined control sequence.
l.222 \includepdf
[pages=-]{test.pdf}

Error: LaTeX failed to compile temp.tex. See https://yihui.org/tinytex/r/#debugging for debugging tips. See temp.log for more info.
Execution halted

I've gone into cmd and used:

tlmgr install pdfpages

It seems to have said its installed. I see the necessary packages in this location on my PC.
C:\Users\myprofile\AppData\Roaming\TinyTeX\texmf-dist\tex\latex

I shutdown R-studio and try knitr to PDF, but same error. If I remove the \includepdf[pages=-]{test.pdf} line then the PDF renders.

Any suggestions on troubleshooting? I've been working on it for a few days now. I could save each page of the multi-page PDF as an image and use includegraph, but that is not as ideal as doing it all at once.

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

[yihui]

Sorry but I can't help you before you help me help you by providing the necessary information: https://yihui.org/tinytex/r/#debugging

I am unable to knit my rmd file to pdf due to the above error. Please help!

[cderv]

Did you already try to update and install latest Tex Live ? You can easily reinstall TinyTeX with latest version of tools.

Usually Mismatched LaTeX support files detected. is an issue with updating existing packages before installing a new one.

[vaishaliporthi]

I have reinstalled TinyTex and tried knitting but it did not work

[cderv]

Did you update the tinytex R package already ? Could you provide your xfun::session_info('tinytex') ?

We are suppose to handle such error

• Mismatched LaTeX support files detected rstudio/tinytex#424
• rstudio/tinytex@5946a2a

Can you confirm you are using the latest tinytex R package, and then latest TinyTeX (tinytex::reinstall_tinytex()) ? Thanks.

If so we may have another issue to deal with... 🤔

Hello Yihui,

I am trying to knit some document with the papaja template. This is the .log file that I have obtained, as it has errors that I don't know how to fix. Someone could know something about this?

Thanks!

It seems like multirow is missing.

Note sure which tool is using it (maybe papaja ?). You can ask on their repo for help.

Or you can try install https://www.ctan.org/pkg/multirow
It should have install automatically tough when using TinyTeX ... 🤔

[Cristrinaranjus]

Thanks for your time! Using apaquarto instead of a template by papaja has worked for me.

[cderv]

So probably an issue in papaja template. Good to know it works !

Hi Yihui and Cderv,

It's more than 5 months I'm not working in rmd with latex and I tried to compile an old file. Unfortunately I stuck with the same error:

this is the script in rmd:

[cderv]

Hi ! Would you be able to edit your comment so that it is formatted nicely in a way we can see the code and copy paste it ?

This way we can try reproduce. See https://yihui.org/issue/#please-format-your-issue-correctly

Hint from what I can see

! LaTeX Error: Environment singlespace undefined.

You are using \begin{singlespace} so you need to have the CTAN package that defines this environment. It seems tinytex can't install it automatically from the error in the logfile. So maybe you just need to load it.

From a quick google search, I think you are missing setspace (https://ctan.org/pkg/setspace). You should try install it, or just load it correctly with \usepackage{setspace}

It seems you have it already in your document, but I don't know where you put it (because not correctly formatted).

You can load them with including in header (for preamble) or using the special argument in pdf_document
See https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown-cookbook/latex-extra.html

Hope it helps

[andreapierucci]

Hi cderv,
thanks a lot for your quick message. I tried to copy and paste the code in the right form. I'm sorry if I did some errors, I'm quite beginner in LaTeX.

I reinstalled tinytex ver. 0.50 and I loaded it \usepackage{setspace} and in the script..... \begin{singlespace}.

After some tests it worked just removed the \begin{singlespace} ...\end{singlespace}.
This is quite strange because more than 1 year ago the script worked perfectly. Maybe with some updates I do not need to specified singlespace.

Thanks again for all your kind support.

[cderv]

Note sure exactly what you did in the past, but know that Pandoc has setspace loading in its template only when linestretch variable is set https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#variables-for-latex

So if you set it in the past, or used a tool that set it, it could have works.

Also I see the same issue in your screenshot: \usepackage{..} lines are not in the correct place in your template.

output:  
  pdf_document: default
  word_document: default
  html_document: default
   - \usepackage{ragged2e}
   - \usepackage{setspace} 

This is not correct. You can't pass LaTeX lines like this under output, see previous comment and docs to understand how to pass such lines

[andreapierucci]

Hi cderv, I'm back for another bug in my old code.
this time I got this error . . .

! LaTeX Error: Unknown float option `H'.

Error: LaTeX failed to compile wwww.tex. See https://yihui.org/tinytex/r/#debugging for debugging tips. See wwww.log for more info.

After many checks I added this line on the top of my code

I removed one by one and all works correctly except when I add fig.cap="xxx" .. with it I got the error I mentioned. Do you know how to fix it?

Please share a full reproducible example. It seems something is missing somewhere where the float package should be loaded

No sure why it is not. Thanks !

I switched from an Intel Mac to an M3-pro Mac a couple of weeks ago. I migrated everything from the old laptop to this new one, including R and RStudio. Knitting worked perfectly fine on the old laptop, and, however, does not work at all on my new laptop.

I keep getting the error message as shown in the image attached. I have tried reinstalling R and RStudio but neither works.

Could somebody please help look at this? I couldn't find anything related to this error message online.

[cderv]

I have tried reinstalling R and RStudio but neither works.

This error is not related to R or RStudio. It is related to LaTeX and the environment you are using.

Did you install latest TinyTeX ? https://yihui.org/tinytex/#for-r-users

Using a recent version of LaTeX may help

[hele2069]

Yes. I did try re-installing the packages indicated in website's troubleshooting page. The same issue still persists.

[hele2069]

Resolved! Just in case anyone has a similar issue:
I have TexLive installed on my computer and this might causes version conflicts with the TinyTex package.
Running rm -rf ~/.texlive* on my terminal did the trick.

[Raylc]

Dear Yihui and cderv,

I recently encountered the following error message when I tried to knit my old rmd file, which worked perfectly two months ago. The mistake will disappear if I switch the latex engine from pdflatex to xelatex or lualatex. However, for the last two engines, all my latex customizations do not work. I tried everything mentioned on this page.

! Undefined control sequence.

[cderv]

You did not format the Rmd content correctly, so hard to know if you set it correctly.

This error mentions NewDocumentCommand does not seem to be defined. So I would check your latex version to be sure you are using a recent that has this command. It should be inside LaTeX and not in a package.

This is used by pandoc to create a citeproctext command when CSL is used with Pandoc's citeproc.

[Raylc]

Christophe thanks for your reply! I just uninstalled my TeXLive and installed MikTeX, and it works perfectly this time. This yaml code chunk worked pretty well several weeks ago, but it stopped working since I updated RStudio, making me suspect that it is the fault of RStudio update.

[suaw-hlu]

I get following error after my code have usually been working:
! LaTeX Error: File `tabu.sty' not found.

! Emergency stop.
<read *>
I have done everything listed above with no luck

[cderv]

! LaTeX Error: File `tabu.sty' not found.

You are just missing the tabu CTAN package; If you install it, this should work. We can't say why it was not installed automatically. It shoud if you are using TinyTeX and tinytex R package with R Markdown.

I have done everything listed above with no luck

You can also search online for such error. Those are not TinyTeX specific. They are LaTeX errors. You should be able to find help online easily

[mbrandt00]

Hi Yihui and cderv,
Thanks for all your work on this package, really appreciate your hard work. I am trying to use this package in an aws lambda. When I knit with the rmarkdown::render function, I get:

! I can't write on file FileName.log
(Press Enter to retry, or Control-D to exit; default file extension is `.log')
Please type another transcript file nameERROR [2024-05-24 04:45:54] LaTeX failed to compile /tmp/Daily_Roster_Pitching_Log_and_Payroll_2024-05-24.tex. See https://yihui.org/tinytex/r/#debugging for debugging tips.

Thank you in advance

[cderv]

You need write access for the LaTeX compilation to work. It seems everything happens in /tmp but maybe some environment are configured for Log file to be written elsewhere. This seems environment specific, and I don't know about aws lambda. Sorry

[mbrandt00]

Thanks for the reply. Knitting to an HTML file worked inside the lambda environment, so it must be a problem with lambda accessing the necessary pdflatex binaries.

[cderv]

TeX Live and LaTeX could do some processing in different places, also if lambda tweaked some options. R Markdown does not control much the LaTeX processing, but usually it applies in same place as the Rmd to Latex conversion. So not sure where to look

[skinsella]

Hi thanks for all your work on this package. I am compiling and it won't work for some reason, error is

! Undefined control sequence.
@{} >{\raggedright \arraybackslash
}p{(\columnwidth - 6\tabcolsep...
l.866 ...width - 6\tabcolsep) * \real{0.1944}}@{}}

When I go to l.866, there does not seem to be anything wrong.

[cderv]

Without any example of what you tried to render this is very hard to help.

This is a LaTeX issue meaning somehow the .tex file contains some error. You need to look into it, or in what is creating this code in the .Rmd or .qmd file.

Possibly, this is missing a CTAN package which brings a command you don't have.

So this all depend on

• Which content is creating this command ?
• What is creating the tex file ?
• And more.

There is no context to your question so this is really some guesses from us...

[skinsella]

Sorry!

I'm using this .tex file: https://github.com/svmiller/svm-r-markdown-templates/blob/master/svm-latex-cv.tex

Hi, I've figured this out thanks to your prompt to go look at the .tex file. It was deprecated. I redid the yaml based on the author's updated .tex and we're off. Thanks!
