Error rendering PDF manuscript using the tex template about svm-r-markdown-templates HOT 4 OPEN

Hi @svmiller. Thanks for this. I am experiencing the same problem, with both a ms I was working on, and the article template.

The only difference, being in the line (769 in my case):

"template" (line 769, column 152):
unexpected "<"
expecting letter
Error: pandoc document conversion failed with error 5
Execution halted

I also tried the solutions @jananiravi mentioned with no success.

FWIW, I'm not getting anything out of the ordinary on my end. For both of you, could you please share a MWE from the raw .tex file for your MWEs?

I think this problem was caused by Saving link as... the template file. I had a similar problem and when I opened the template it had saved the html code of the page rather than the TeX code. Maybe try redownloading the templates once the file has been opened in github or copy-pasting into a new .tex file.

This is interesting, I've been using this for a long time in 2019 and 2020, never had an issue with it. The last time I used it was around Mar 2020. Today when I run knitr, I saw the same compilation error, which is really strange. I tried to compile the .tex template alone without R markdown, turned out to be successful, not sure why the R-markdown pandoc is complaining about it.
