All,
How does one tell what version of pandoc is being used by winbuilder (and
probably other related CRAN-submission processes)?
I have a package with several HTML vignettes, for which I use a custom style. I
had decided to add the pandoc option '-strip-comments' to my script (my
vignettes have quite a few HTML comments that are used for indexing and are not
needed after the vignettes are built). When I built the package and submitted
it for checking to winbuilder (for the development version of R), the result
was that each vignette failed to rebuild, with a message that pandoc.exe has no
option -strip-comments. However, that option has been available since pandoc
version 2.0; and its latest version is 2.7.3.
This is not a big deal for my package, so I just removed that option and then
all was OK. But still, why are we having to rely on a relatively ancient
version of pandoc?
Thanks
Russ
