I am able to knit the following code to PDF. However, it always fails when trying to knit the output to Word (win 10, Rstudio 1.2.5033, R 3.6.2, papaja 0.1.0.9942). I had to delete the papaja header for posting (too much code).
```{r setup, include = FALSE}
library("papaja")
```
# Methods
```{r figure}
plot(cars)
```
The error message reads
Error running filter D:/Boelte/R_library/papaja/rmd/docx_fixes.lua: [string "--[[..."]:227: Constructor for Emph failed: [string "--[[..."]:258: attempt to index a nil value (local 'x') stack traceback: [C]: in function 'error' ..."]:227: in field 'Emph' D:/Boelte/R_library/papaja/rmd/docx_fixes.lua:14: in function 'Image' Fehler: pandoc document conversion failed with error 83
Is there any way to correct this error? It is a papaja or a pandoc error?
This is a papaja error related to post-processing of the document (in this case styling figure captions) via the docx_fixes.lua-filter. I will try to fix this as soon as possible. For the time being, you should be able to resolve this problem by specifying a figure caption in the chunk options.
```{r setup, include = FALSE}
library("papaja")
```
# Methods
(ref:fig-cap) This is the figure caption.
```{r figure, fig.cap = "(ref:fig-cap)"}
plot(cars)
```
