I'm having some problems with rmarkdown and pandoc. Some of my rmarkdown files are compiling and some are throwing error messages. I can't figure out a consistent trigger, I literally have had two files with identical YAML headers and one will compile while the other won't. I think the problem is caused by my having installed pandoc independently of RStudio, the problem goes away when I uninstall pandoc (following directions here: https://pandoc.org/installing.html)
The problems started when I wanted to include tables of contents in github_document output, and was having issues with the TOC not showing, so following this thread (https://github.com/rstudio/rmarkdown/issues/1311) I updated pandoc. Unfortunately, that triggered the arbitrary error 6 messages.
If I uninstall pandoc all of my rmd files compile, but I don't get the TOC created. Any suggestions?
Running rmarkdown::pandoc_version() gives ‘2.3.1’ without having separately installed pandoc.
Once I install pandoc myself it shows ‘2.9.1.1’
