undebuggable error

[shug0131]

I'm trying to use pkgdown. But it keeps comming up with the same errors for my vignettes

> pkgdown::build_article(name="test")
Reading vignettes/test.Rmd
Error in `pkgdown::build_article()`:
! Failed to render vignettes/test.Rmd.
✖ Error compiling template "/tmp/RtmpRyZJG1/pkgdown-rmd-template-1ac59d21b39.html" (line 41, column
  72):
✖ unexpected "`"
✖ expecting ".", "/", "(", ":", "[" or "$"
Caused by error:
! pandoc document conversion failed with error 5
Run `rlang::last_trace()` to see where the error occurred.

Here's my test.Rmd file

---
title: "Test"
output: rmarkdown::html_vignette
vignette: >
  %\VignetteIndexEntry{Test}
  %\VignetteEngine{knitr::rmarkdown}
  %\VignetteEncoding{UTF-8}

# Title

It's always line 41, column 72, regardless of the input file.

"pkgdown-rmd-template-1ac59d21b39.html"

gets deleted as soon as the command fails. So I can't look at it.

The help function pages all do get built correctly. So pkgdown is working, installed,

I recommend you delete that file and start with a fresh vignette with usethis::use_vignette("test") and go from there.

I'm not sure what the pandoc error is, do you have pandoc installed?

[shug0131]

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried that and exactly the same error. I have pandoc installed

I managed to get the github actions to start (ssh and PAT from inside a docker image are tricky) but it fails with a very similar error
