Dear all, I'm trying to write a post_processor() for a custom rmarkdown format. The goal of the post_processor() is to modify the latex file before it is compiled. For some reason the post_processor() is not run. The post_processor() does work when I run it manually on the tex file.
Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? Below is the relevant snippet of the code. The full code is available at https://github.com/inbo/INBOmd/blob/post_processor/R/rsos_article.R https://github.com/inbo/INBOmd/blob/post_processor/inst/rmarkdown/templates/rsos_article/skeleton/skeleton.Rmd is an Rmd is a MWE that fails compile because the post_processor() is not run. Best regards, Thierry post_processor <- function( metadata, input_file, output_file, clean, verbose ) { text <- readLines(output_file, warn = FALSE) # set correct text in fmtext environment end_first_page <- grep("\\\\EndFirstPage", text) #nolint if (length(end_first_page) == 1) { maketitle <- grep("\\\\maketitle", text) #nolint text <- c( text[1:(maketitle - 1)], "\\begin{fmtext}", text[(maketitle + 1):(end_first_page - 1)], "\\end{fmtext}", "\\maketitle", text[(end_first_page + 1):length(text)] ) writeLines(enc2utf8(text), output_file, useBytes = TRUE) } output_file } output_format( knitr = knitr_options( opts_knit = list( width = 60, concordance = TRUE ), opts_chunk = opts_chunk, knit_hooks = knit_hooks ), pandoc = pandoc_options( to = "latex", latex_engine = "xelatex", args = args, keep_tex = keep_tex ), post_processor = post_processor, clean_supporting = !keep_tex ) ir.
