errors trying to render thesisdown example

Hi, since I updated R, I am not able to render my phd thesis to a pdf.
I checked if I can render the example of thesisdown, and I noticed that I get errors here as well.

I get the following error when trying to render the thesisdown example with default output.

! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> @{} >{\centering \arraybackslash 
                                            }p{(\columnwidth - 4\tabcolsep )...
l.607 ...mnwidth - 4\tabcolsep) * \real{0.18}}@{}}

Error: LaTeX failed to compile thesis.tex. See https://yihui.org/tinytex/r/#debugging for debugging tips. See thesis.log for more info.

When trying xelatex (what I actually want to use for my thesis), I get the following error:

! Package mathspec Error: `amsmath' must be loaded earlier than `mathspec'.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I updated tinytex.

Hi there. Can you check out this previous issue and see if the change works for you?

I downloaded the package in the weekend (Februrary 20th), when the changes were supposed to be merged (am I right?) and getting the error too.

Also I noticed that, according to the README, you have to include the Rmd and companion files in an "index" folder. However, all calls to the here::here function do not include this index in the "folder" argument. So this also prevents knitting.

Thank you for the thesisdown package!!

Please just remove the table from Chapter 3 if you are still having this error.

I’m not following on the here::here() issue as index is the base for the relative path. Feel free to start a new issue and show the errors so we can diagnose further.

Thanks a lot! Removing the table indeed works! Sorry I missed that previous issue.

Dr. Chester Ismay · Answer 6 · Wed Feb 24 2021 06:09:07 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

No problem! I should probably just remove that table going forward since it is causing more problems than it is really worth.
