I am trying to create a quarto book in RStudio. When I add date-format in the YAML, the book cannot be rendered. When I remove the date-format field, I can render it successfully. A sample YAML specification (in _quarto.yml file of the project) is as follows:
project:
type: book
book:
title: "A Sample Book Title"
author:
- name: "Eva"
date: today
#date-format: "MMM D, YYYY"
page-footer:
border: true
chapters:
- index.qmd
- intro.qmd
- summary.qmd
- references.qmd
bibliography: references.bib
nocite: |
@*
format:
html:
theme: cosmo
pdf:
documentclass: scrreprt
fig-align: center
fig-width: 6
fig-height: 5
fig-pos: 'h'
fig-cap-location: bottom
tbl-cap-location: top
pdf-engine: lualatex
keep-tex: true
linestretch: 1.5
toc: true
toc-depth: 2
toc-title: Contents
lof: true
lot: true
number-sections: true
number-depth: 6
colorlinks: true
cite-method: biblatex
csl: apa7.csl
callout-appearance: simple
callout-icon: true
When I keep date-format field commented, I can render this book in any format (HTML/PDF), but when I uncomment date-format, I cannot render it to any format.
My quarto version is 1.2.90, and RStudio version is
RStudio 2022.11.0-daily+170 "Elsbeth Geranium" Daily (7d3b494aefefb25c1b943137678c620c3b60a736, 2022-09-08) for Windows
